| Common Sense MediaTracy MooreSomber meditation on belief, redemption has heavy themes. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreKiley has created a pretty engrossing and somewhat moving story of a selfish, self-destructive drunk who finds, if not faith, at least the willingness to look outside of herself to try and help others and the chance to actually join the human race. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohA rather touching portrait of a young woman's human growth, laced with a salutary number of small yet piquant observations along the way. |
| Village VoiceChris PackhamDirector Kiley is mostly successful at keeping Hallmark banalities at bay, relating Cora's crime in a series of tense flashbacks, and populating the film with funny characters played by a top-notch cast. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinSnow is excellent, though, as she attempts to inhabit her murky character. If only we had a better sense of what the movie was trying to say about faith — or the lack thereof. |
| User ReviewRyan MStarts out dark and so depressing that I almost turned it off but it is really worth hanging in there. Beautiful story of how another human being can help you see the goodness within yourself when you can't see it yourself. |
| User ReviewHeather MSnow was wonderful in this tragic story. It has a powerful, redemptive message and a sweet ending. |
| User ReviewGreg RGood movie with a very good storyline. Too many details were still left unknown though, for example the reason why the parents had this big social separation in their marriage. I can recommend this movie to anyone who feels like having a laugh whilst at the same time likes to think about one of the bigger issues of identitycrisis and religious truths. |
| User ReviewLaura JHey not too bad at all. Flawed, but decent. Good acting with a simple feel good story. |
