Leave your thoughts about Strange Weather.
| New York TimesBen KenigsbergA case of excellent actors straining to elevate a contrived screenplay ... |
| Film ExperienceNathaniel RogersI could have watched these characters/actors for another hour. |
| The Film StageMike MazzantiWhere the brilliance of Strange Weather lies - in great part through Hunter's stunningly human and subtly searing performance - is in its constant grappling with the nonlinear process of grief. |
| ColliderAdam Chitwood'Strange Weather' is a fairly solid chronicle of the grieving process, but an even better performance showcase for the tremendous Holly Hunter. |
| Punch Drunk CriticsRoxana HadadiAs the focus of Strange Weather, Holly Hunter is her typical fantastic self, using her committed performance to ground a narrative about a familial tragedy. |
| DeciderJoe ReidCarrie Coon proves once again that she's a phenomenal talent who is currently being severely under-utilized in the Hollywood ecosystem. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayWatching an actress of Hunter's caliber in a meaty leading role partly compensates for the creaky plot and overearnest tone. |
| Village VoiceSerena DonadoniIn a quivering, bone-deep performance, Hunter takes Darcy from a mother encased in guilt to a woman who can acknowledge her shattering loss while still recognizing her right to be alive. |
| TheWrapTricia OlszewskiHunter, her Darcy often wearing a cowboy hat along with a tank top and skinny jeans more often seen on teens, gives a lived-in, down-but-not-out performance throughout. |
| FlavorwireJason BaileyIt's hard to imagine another actor in the world who could elicit those particular responses to those moments, or who could make the wild narrative swing of the climactic encounter not only play, but play credibly. |
