Reaction: Sofia Coppola is not really known for box office success, but Black Dublin has become her most successful film since Lost in Translation 15 years ago. The film also continues Kirsten Dunst's success at the box office for the studio following roles in the hit films Blackwater and Scion.

"Sofia Coppola has branched away from her usual subjects and crafted an esoteric, spooky drama filled with duplicitous characters - all well played by the actors assembled." - Perry Manson, CinemaBlend.com

"While the film is well-shot and acted, I couldn't help but be overwhelmed with confusion by the time the credits began to roll. After a solid first half, the plot gets really hazy. Was Alice practicing witchcraft? Did she kill her husbands? The film leaves some major questions open-ended in an infuriating fashion." - Adam Carpenter, St. Louis Post-Disbatch

"Kirsten Dunst finally gets a leading role worthy of her considerable talent. She manages to play the mysterious nature of her character with aplomb, never quite tipping her hand to the audience." - Shawn Moseby, Fresno Bee
