Certainly takes an unorthodox, occasionally stunted yet absorbing route as a film premised on a couple's abducted child. Really, Meadowland is effectively a character study and one of Olivia Wilde's best vehicles in her career so far.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

A very depressing look at the affects of what the loss of a child would be like. Very well acted by the main characters.

Arizona Republic

Wilson and Wilde have a light touch that makes them perfect for the comedies they often make. Here, Morano leads them to much darker places, and they plunge right in.

Rated: 3.5/5

A film with two very strong central performances from a pair of underrated actors that falters by being so self-aware of the tortured existence it's attempting to capture.
