"With a calmness that bespeaks confidence, this small, spellbinding second feature by Hilary Brougher brings together two women, trapped in separate states of denial and distress, who manage to end each other's entrapment." | ||||
"Brougher has taken material that sounds contrived and potentially exploitative and used her gift for careful observation and restrained emotionality to give it surprising authenticity." | ||||
"Without standing on a soapbox Stephanie Daley suggests a tragic gender gap between men who judge and women who feel." | ||||
"The movie amounts to an extended short story that progresses slowly and fades away with key questions unanswered. Ambiguity isn't necessarily interesting." | ||||
"There is so much to admire and empathize with in Stephanie Daley that it feels almost boorish to quibble about whether the film needs to come packaged as a murder mystery." | ||||
"The film itself is dark and chilling, if occasionally plodding, but worth seeing for the absorbing potency of its main performances." | ||||
"A stark, painful drama about pregnancy--a subject rarely treated this fully, candidly or tragically." | ||||
"A taut, provocative, sometimes overreaching but always absorbing thriller." |
