Reaction: While it would have been nice to start our 12th season off with a hit, we are happy that at the very least Chad Taylor's second directorial effort ended up breaking even.


"The title role is a tricky one to pull off. Lily James certainly had her work cut out for her, and she mostly succeeded, although some scenes may have been a tad outside her league. Debra Winger, meanwhile, is already an early favorite for a Best Supporting Actress favorite." - Charles Triano, Los Angeles Times


"The latest effort from Chad Taylor, the director, is a good deal more ambitious than his first film. Orchid is not only a relationship drama, but also a film about the trap falls of fame in today's culture." - Willa Pulaski, Salon.com


"I had some issues with the shifting tone of the film at times, but it is certainly not a bad film - just a good film with some moments that don't quite work as well as the film they're in." - Chris Mears, Slashfilm


Rated R for drug content, language and some sexuality/nudity.
