Dennis Harvey

Variety

A cartoonish and crudely staged dramatization of a disturbing true crime.

Los Angeles Times

The film owes whatever persuasiveness it has to the teen leads' sharp performances - their sisterly chemistry and their filial friction with an alcohol-addled mother, well played by Mira Sorvino.

New York Times

Ms. Breslin and especially Ms. Henley are quite good, elevating a film that seems like an oft-told tale.

Every now and then, the film hits a definite note of ingenuity, but the deliberately quirky asides, which attempt to enliven the material, feel amateurish and false.

Rated: 2/5

Murder, booze, drugs in melodramatic true-crime movie.

Brent Simon

Paste Magazine

Exists in a soupy, unpersuasive middle ground, neither touching the rich, charged atmosphere of Heavenly Creatures, nor aiming for something more darkly comedic or rooted in social commentary.

Rated: 5/10

I know there are a lot of negative reviews referencing how it doesnt so justice to the true crime event of reality, however I feel like this movie is still a good watch despite that. Its a movie i find myself thinking about semi-frequently and coming back to rewatch from time to time.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Has a strained style that sometimes feels like a television movie, and it's not overly obvious what genre this film in after the first 15 minutes, however the drama of the situation does eventually take over.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
