      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Stray Dolls doesn't make it easy to identify with its central characters, but director/co-writer Sonejuhi Sinha's depiction of the American underbelly is compelling.

      Steve Pond TheWrap A trip to the dark side of the American dream, where everybody uses illusions and delusions to survive in a grimy landscape where they have no real options. Apr 13, 2020 Full Review Claudia Puig FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I think it's a mixed bag. There are times when it was intriguing... [But] the characters weren't terribly well developed. Apr 12, 2020 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Every time you think you're [watching] a movie you've already seen a bunch of times, it takes a left turn. I rather enjoyed that about it. Apr 12, 2020 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix The last 15 minutes of the movie have so many absurd things happening ... that Stray Dolls should have been named Stray Plot Holes. Jul 12, 2020 Full Review Rose Dymock Film Inquiry With strong performances by the young cast, and beautiful cinematography that skims the line between seedy and lurid, Stray Dolls is an intriguing crime drama with an important insight into a forgotten and left behind part of American society. May 4, 2020 Full Review Harvey S. Karten Shockya.com Trump would gleefully cite Riz among his examples of immigrants who turn to crime in the U.S. Rated: B Apr 23, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member I tried to watch but could not find anything of interest. These inane kids are running around trying to scam a buck, take drugs and get out of poverty. There is no story here that has not been told many, many times before. And there was no humor or compelling character to make me want to watch after the first 20 minutes. It's just sad lives headed for tragedy. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Low budget movie, yet, highly enjoyable. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the better road movies. Geetanjali and Olivia duo show a nice chemistry. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Well shot, but writing and character development was pretty awful. I actually laughed at times at the silly lines that I assume were meant to be serious. Like when Mom tells son that she is going to hold on to his brick of cocaine until he gets his life together. I did not care at all about Riz or any of the characters. They all lacked depth or layers. I think they were going for a gritty film noir, but ended up with a far more comical and sophmoric version of the genre. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is a bold and original debut feature. It presents a fresh take on the motel noir by showing it through a female, immigrant-centric lens. It has a powerful message but doesn't feel too heavy-handed - instead it takes you for a fun, increasingly intense ride. Great acting and strong direction throughout. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Gripping thriller with fantastic performances! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
