Leave your thoughts about Who We Are Now.
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferWarm, wise and thoroughly engrossing. Julianne Nicholson gives a mesmerizing, powerful performance. If there were any justice, she would be nominated for Best Actress this awards season. |
| Big Apple ReviewsHarvey S. KartenJulianne Nicholson is so compelling as an ex-convict juggling her need for a job that pays enough for her to reclaim her small son that we in the audience can see her nomination possibilities as the awards season approaches. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennySuperbly acted and confidently shot, Who We Are Now delivers substantial dramatic pleasures while posing pertinent questions. |
| VarietyScott TobiasNewton has made a beautiful little film about sacrifice and redemption, and he earns it one tiny brushstroke at a time. |
| The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloNewton’s screenplays still suffer from third-act problems — both "From Nowhere" and Who We Are Now conclude with an ironic twist that feels slightly cheap — but his dedication to fine-grained real-world complexity sets him apart from most indie filmmakers these days. |
| Village VoiceDevika GirishWhile Nicholson’s onscreen, it’s impossible to pay heed to anything but her. She scorches the film with her barely bottled ferocity and vulnerability. |
| Film InquiryTomas TrussowNewton carved out a raw and unsentimental journey for his protagonists that neither completely absolves them of their mistakes, nor robs them of the agency to make them. |
| The Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinNewton’s storytelling is skittish and a bit too on the nose at times, but his palpable generosity toward his cast is rewarded with committed, passionate turns from the ensemble. However, Nicholson, a performer all-too seldom given a chance to lead, is the big door prize here, offering an intricately layered performance that lifts the whole film up a notch. |
| Moveable FestStephen Saito"Who We Are Now" remains electric as the director once again brings the abstract into laser-like focus and creates a dramatically satisfying narrative out of issues involving class, family and gender without ever reducing their complexity. |
| indieWireDavid EhrlichNewton’s film knows that people are always going to be letting themselves (and each other) down, no matter how hard they try, and Nicholson’s unforgettable turn makes it impossible for us to forget it. |
