Reaction: The high salaries for Lawrence and Hathaway definitely inflated the budget a bit more than preferable, but this film probably would not have made as much at the box office (especially overseas) with less known actresses in those roles.

"Jennifer Lawrence and Anne Hathaway both deliver excellent performances in the film, even if Lawrence isn't necessarily believable as a lonely young woman. Both are overshadowed by a masterful turn from Frances McDormand." - Paul Onkean, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"The film gets too melodramatic and ridiculous as its story progresses. What starts out as a quiet character study about a young woman unsure of her place in society becomes over-the-top and reminiscent of a Lifetime Original Movie." - Michael Wilmington, Rolling Stone

"There are strong performances from the entire cast, but the story isn't always as engaging as the group of actors depicting it. That said, this film is definitely an early look at some possible Golden Reel nominations in the acting categories." - Jeff Stockton, The Roundup

Rated R for violence, language and sexual content
