Reaction: Four of this season's novel adaptations have turned profits for the studio, bucking the curse trend, at least financially.
"An Anonymous Girl attempts to weave a complex narrative of morality and manipulation, but often gets tangled in its own ambitions. The plot, while initially intriguing, becomes convoluted and loses momentum with underdeveloped subplots and a predictable climax. Despite its ample flaws, the film does offer some gripping individual scenes and good casting for the two lead roles with Lawrence and Kidman." - Dave Manning, Ridgefield Press
"Even with the on-par performances from Lawrence & Kidman (and several others like up-and-comer Jay Ellis), the just not that engaging mystery, the slowpoke pace, & the lack of tension hinder any potential this had from being another Lifetime Original Movie special." - Aubrey Jade-Mitchell, The Sun (UK)
"Once more I think the novel curse strikes again. The writing feels clunky and the performances therefore are too. I’m not sure if I really liked much in this film, the improvements just need to be made if Rosie wants to continue adapting novels." - J. Darrel Ellington, Behind the Camera
Rated R for language, sexual content, and thematic elements
