Reaction: While not a huge flop, the film failing to turn a profit at the box office has unfortunately finally brought Roy Horne's streak of profitable films to an end.

"Gracie is more than a little depressing in the end, but it is anchored by another fantastic performance from Sydney Sweeney and yet another hypnotic soundtrack curated by writer Roy Horne. As far as small character studies go, this one is pretty solid." - Ron Gardocki, Los Angeles Express

"Sydney Sweeney gives another great performance, but after Poison Ivy (and writer Roy Horne's other recent films) the expectations may have been set too high for Gracie. It is a much smaller film in terms of its scope, almost too small and indie-styled for its own good, and it never quite finds a rhythm with its structure." - Glenn Howard, Total Film

"Like with Chad Taylor and Billy Magnussen and Mo Buck with Mackenzie Foy before them, it seems Roy Horne has found his diamond in Sydney Sweeney. While you could argue that she's a bit too old to play an eighteen-year-old, Sydney still delivers a great performance as a girl trying to make her way through school life, only for tragic circumstances to come into play. It may not be the cleanest movie narratively, but it has an eerily good soundtrack and provides the next step in Sydney's quest to become an A-List star." - Mitchell Parker, New York Times
