| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittDirected by Ulu Grosbard, who has never done a better job of filling the screen with superb acting, and shows great ingenuity at interweaving music with other aspects of the story. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrPerformed to maximum effect by a host of top-flight actors, Ulu Grosbard's strong character study is knit together by a tense subtext that underlies even the calmest moments. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA complex, deeply knowledgeable story about a truly lost soul and her downward spiral. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliGeorgia is a tour de force for Leigh, and her portrayal of the troubled, passionate Sadie lingers in the mind long after many of the movie's plot details have faded. |
| Palo Alto WeeklySusan TavernettiJennifer Jason Leigh's performance as the sister who lives for her turn in the spotlight electrifies this look at two very different siblings. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranGeorgia is not an easy film, but in the American independent arena, it outperforms everything in sight. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenWritten with an acute ear by Barbara Turner (Leigh's mother) and directed by Ulu Grosbard, it's a resonant, grittily specific film. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe result is a film as maddening and unpredictable as the character herself, held together by a fierce, risk-taking performance and flashes of overwhelming honesty. |
| Village VoiceGeorgia BrownIt's still a good [movie], with its self-contained world of concert arenas and smoky clubs and sad, weird people who linger in the mind. |
| Nick's Flick PicksNick DavisMight be my favorite example of a movie that compels you toward binaristic assumptions but keeps outwitting them, with its immersed conviction in the palpable, sonic, psychological, atmospheric world that it inhabits and constructs. |
