Leave your thoughts about Meadowland.
| AwardsCircuit.comClayton Davis"Meadowland" is a methodical and at times very compelling film that presents an intimate portrait of grief and hopelessness. Wilde delivers her finest acting performance of her career yet and is simply astonishing. |
| Slant MagazineElise NakhnikianThe film is a credible and sensitive portrayal of crippling grief. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenBoth Olivia Wilde and Luke Wilson understand the greatest pain of loss to be rooted in its searing inexpressibility. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleThough the film is well made, the all-aftermath approach to Meadowland leaves a lot — an establishing, enlightening character stability, for one thing — to be desired. |
| The Film StageJordan RaupAs we dive deeper into the abyss of loss, the story strays from its grounded realism and becomes too contrived to fully convey its intended emotion. |
| GuardianJordan HoffmanWhat Meadowland refuses to do, to its great credit, is conform to expectations. |
| CinemaBlend.comGreg WakemanMeadowland features Olivia Wilde's most mesmerizing performance to date, but is too overwrought to be truly memorable. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThe filmmaking is sure-handed, the performances authentic. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzWhat saves Meadowland from being an exercise in masochism is the acting. Wilson and Wilde have a light touch that makes them perfect for the comedies they often make. Here, Morano leads them to much darker places, and they plunge right in. |
| The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe setup is a scriptwriting gimme — if your central couple lose a child, practically any subsequent behavior is justifiable — but the actors sell what they’re given quite effectively. |
