"Ava DuVernay has begun to show that she isn't a director that cares much about story or characters, just themes. She is unable to elevate the source material onto the silver screen." - Richard Park, Globe and Mail


"While possibly a year or two too old for the role, Mackenzie Foy delivers another solid, heartbreaking performance. Chris Pine, as her on-screen father, continues to grow as an actor, showing more and more range with each performance." - Ken Decker, Denver Post


"Director Ava DuVernay and writer Mo Buck deliver a strong, albeit simple, character study that is buoyed by strong performances from Foy, Pine and Brody." - Janet Donnelly, Empire Magazine
