- 58The PlaylistChristopher SchobertThe PlaylistChristopher SchobertMark Strong and an underused Brian Cox are fine, and Taissa Farmiga demonstrates why she is acknowledged as one of America’s most promising young talents. But she deserves a better role, everyone involved deserves a stronger script.
- 50McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreMcClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreThe younger sister of the formidable Vera Farmiga gives flat, rushed and unconvincing line readings, especially in her paragraph-long, exposition-packed monologues. Is that by design? Is this a clever teen “acting” to manipulate her memory detective? The actress should be better at masking that, if that’s the case. And if it isn’t, she should be just…better.
- 50RogerEbert.comSusan WloszczynaRogerEbert.comSusan WloszczynaIt's as messy as a teen’s bedroom and packed with all manner of distracting clutter that needlessly burdens a plot.
- 30The DissolveNick SchagerThe DissolveNick SchagerIts suspense is so nonexistent, and its supposed concerns—about the reliability of memory and the nature of truth—are handled so facilely, the film sells its own conceit short.
