Leave your thoughts about Stephanie Daley.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertSome cases should never come to trial, because no verdict would be adequate. You are likely to be discussing this film long into the night. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonAs joyless as it may be, it's still a brilliant emotional experience. |
| Contra Costa TimesMary F. PolsTamblyn's performance is a delicate balancing act; she has to stealthily reveal who Stephanie is to us while still holding back the most vital information until the very end. |
| Boston GlobeJanice PageTamblyn's surprisingly measured performance commands attention. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...a fine and foreboding duet of character study |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranBrougher has taken material that sounds contrived and potentially exploitative and used her gift for careful observation and restrained emotionality to give it surprising authenticity. |
| ReelerMichelle OrangeBy remaining physically and emotionally attuned to her actors rather than the considerable melodramatic heft of her story, Brougher avoids the towel-wringer this unfortunately topical story could have been. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe scary culminating flashback, in which Stephanie gives birth -- in a public restroom, on a high school ski trip -- is a marvel of authentic disturbance. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter V. AddiegoThe acting is uniformly on a high level. Tamblyn is impressive, and Swinton, as usual, is outstanding. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigThe film itself is dark and chilling, if occasionally plodding, but worth seeing for the absorbing potency of its main performances. |
