Reaction: Well, not every winning streak lasts forever. The trio of Jean-Marc Vallee, Mo Buck and Brie Larson couldn't manage to pull another hit out of their hats this time around. The home video sales were much lower on this film than either of the trio's previous collaborations, which is probably what primarily cut into the profits.
"Some of the previous magic is lost here, or maybe I'm just tired of watching the suffering Jean-Marc Vallee always seems to have in store for Brie Larson." - Matthew Ellis, USA Today
"It is hard to take your eyes off of the misery on display. The film can be hard to watch, and you will certainly hate most of the characters, but it is certainly well-constructed." - Stephen Ridley, Boston Globe
"Brie Larson seems like she's sleepwalking on-screen, a long cry from her two previous Golden Reel Award-winning performances. The supporting cast fares a little better, with Willem Dafoe practically single-handedly salvaging the film." - James Tubbs Jr., Vice Magazine
