Leave your thoughts about Lila & Eve.
| OregonianMarc MohanOscar-winner Davis can maintain her dignity in just about anything, and she almost gives Lila enough depth to be a compelling character. Lopez gets points for trying something a bit more challenging than the hot-for-teacher dreck of "The Boy Next Door," but she inevitably struggles to hit more than one note. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian Orndorf"Lila & Eve" never disappoints when it's intimate and raw, but this dramatic pursuit eventually bores the production. |
| Kaplan vs. KaplanJeanne KaplanI am not sure a film about mothers tracking vicious gang bangers is such a great idea, specifically since there are many glaring faults. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattAlas, even a promising premise and a fine actress like Davis can't save an increasingly ludicrous plot. Justice may be served, but screenwriting logic? Not so much. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenLila & Eve is a standard-issue female vigilante thriller that's skillfully elevated by the performances of leads Viola Davis and Jennifer Lopez. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea ChaseUnlike the more testosterone-driven revenge fantasies of the Charles Bronson ilk, this one dares to be more complex and offers no absolution in the baptism of blood. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakLila & Eve embraces its psychological thrills rather than action, but it never fully commits to what that decision entails. |
| TheWrapInkoo KangA lovingly crafted B-level melodrama elevated by its remarkable central performance, Lila and Eve feels like Viola Davis’ “Still Alice.” |
| New York Daily NewsKatherine PushkarYou can get a little lost following the chain of drug dealers who Lila and Eve gun down. Then again, narrative coherence isn’t really the point. What is vital is Davis’ wrenching performance as a mother who’s done everything right, but remains powerless to keep her children safe. |
| Willamette WeekEnid SpitzThere's no saving a high-voltage revenge drama that relies on selfies for its big reveal. |
