"Rediscovered Harmonies is anchored by strong performances, even if the characters tend to be underdeveloped on the page. Alice's progression in the story tends to be a bit predictable. If not for the talented cast of actors assembled, the film would not work at all. Talents like Emilia Jones, Stanley Tucci and several others push past the constraints of the script they are given to portray life and blood characters." - Brenton Smalls, Playboy
"Marielle Heller's latest film is a poignant but predictable drama about a grieving teenager. Emilia Jones delivers a compelling performance as Alice, but the film's plot is marred by clichés and a lack of originality. Whenever the film has the chance to take a turn toward something fresh, the script nose-dives toward the formulaic path." - Gregory Fletcher, Los Angeles Times-Journal
"Rediscovered Harmonies treads familiar ground with a formulaic plot that offers little innovation. However, it serves as a showcase for Emilia Jones, whose performance marks her as a talent to watch. The cast, including Turner, Condor, and Carpenter, delivers commendable performances. Fans of this genre will find it satisfying, but those seeking something more original might find it underwhelming." - Edith Moss, Times (UK)
Rated PG-13 for thematic elements involving grief and some mild language
