Leave your thoughts about Tanner Hall.
| Village VoiceNick SchagerFrom hairstyles and clothes to autumnal-hued cinematography and a raft of clichéd incidents involving pills, suicide, sneaking out, and blackmail, everything feels dainty to the point of stale. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerSee the film, if you must, for Mara, who will be starring in the upcoming Hollywood remake of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." She's a sharp, vigilant actress whose career bears watching. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyA cinematic cocktail blended from the contents of a suburban medicine cabinet, "Tanner Hall" is a girls-boarding-school movie that could bring up the bile in more than a few throats. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanThere is an empathy in Tanner Hall that overcomes its familiar trappings and iffy low-budget scope. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoTanner Hall" seems to be a learning experience both for the people onscreen as much as the ones off it, leaving the expectation that there's better to come. |
| Slant MagazineAndrew SchenkerFrancesca Gregorini and Tatiana von Furstenberg's film is episodic, but the episodes don't achieve any kind of cumulative effect. |
| AV ClubAlison WillmoreThe result isn't bad, it just lacks momentum and a strong reason for existing. |
| Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenThere are some dedicated performances, but this unfocused drama adds nothing new to the girls' boarding school film curriculum. |
| New York PostLou LumenickA great-looking but wearyingly cliched and confusing vanity production. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanMost of the actresses are appealing, but ultimately not even the gifted Mara can keep the film from feeling like a gauzy portrait of privilege. |
