"This latest Stepford adaptation has taken some of the best elements of both the novel and the original film adaptation and developed the concept into a slick sci-fi thriller full of excellent performances from the entire cast." - Mark Gilbert, Boston Globe

"Stepford manages to take its well-worn concept and make it feel fresh again. This is all aided by pitch-perfect casting - with special praise going to Stone, Spader and McHale - and an unsettling tone throughout." - Joseph Thornton, Mercury News

"Yorgos Lanthimos steps into the biggest canvas of his LRF career and it doesn't disappoint. A wild pulse-pounding story about a fashion photographer discovering the truth about the other housewives, Emma Stone and Jurnee Smollett are on their A-game both playing the skeptical photographer and best friend turned submissive housewife respectively. A haunting portrayal of middle class life and a deconstruction of the nuclear American family, Stepford is a movie worth discussing and observing multiple times." - Mitchell Parker, New York Times
