A working-class fable about a biker, a mermaid and three shades of blue.
Leave your thoughts about Lorelei.
| Original-CinKim HughesLorelei is a lovely story told with heart and without judgment. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonThe film’s writer-director is British-born Sabrina Doyle, who is making her feature debut after spending the past decade in Los Angeles making short films. Her touch is nearly perfect: authentic, patient, guiding — giving her actors plenty of space. And they respond. |
| Film ThreatAlex SavelievAs it stands, Lorelei is perfectly imperfect. It demonstrates a filmmaker willing to go for broke, examine the dark recesses of our minds that others are too timid to touch. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoAnchored by powerful performances by two deeply underrated actors, Lorelei is a heartfelt drama that succumbs to some thin dialogue and set-ups but feels like it truly loves its outsider characters, and that empathy allows us to root for them too. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakLorelei is nothing if not a story about redemption. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJon FroschPablo Schreiber and Jena Malone hustle to overcome movie-ish dialogue and clichéd story dynamics, investing their life-bruised characters with authentic feeling. They're enough to make you care about the film — and the people in it — even at its clumsiest. |
| VarietyTomris LafflyWriter-director Sabrina Doyle’s fable-like tale of working-class Americans on the fringe navigates its elusive waters with compassion and care, even when it veers into some predictable shallows from time to time. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreSchreiber and Malone leave it all on the set in this sad but wistful romance, a movie about teen dreams that lose all meaning if they’re deferred too long. |
| The New York TimesTeo BugbeeThe film is invested in accurately depicting the details of its character’s lives, but its collection of studied impressions doesn’t coalesce into a coherent final portrait. |
| User ReviewbuttonmashAbsolutely stunning. A beautiful story with an amazing performance given by the entire cast. A masterpiece. |
