	Media	Author	Review
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"'Where Is Kyra?' is a powerfully moody character study anchored by a remarkable performance from Michelle Pfeiffer"
		Gregory Ellwood The Playlist	"There are a number of [beautiful] moments (...) It’s unfortunate they do not coalesce into a cohesive and compelling piece of cinema."
		Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"'Where is Kyra?' sheds a most exquisitely modulated penumbral light on those in the margins of society that would normally remain invisible."
		Guy Lodge Variety	"There’s an awful lot of ravishing beauty on display in 'Where Is Kyra?' (...) Pfeiffer rather selflessly applies herself as a component in Dosunmu’s intoxicating mise-en-scène"
		Eric Kohn IndieWire	"[An] imperfect but undeniably haunting showcase for the actress (...) While her story is unfailingly gorgeous, the stiff aesthetic has a stultifying effect on the developing tension."
		Joshua Rothkopf Time Out	"Michelle Pfeiffer excels in an intimate story (...) Pfeiffer is nothing short of heartbreaking in a part that requires her to be completely unvarnished (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Mike D'Angelo AV Club	"One needs to be in the right mood for an experience like this (...) But it depicts that punishing world with singular artistry."
		Ruth Kinane Entertainment Weekly	"At every beat, Pfeiffer poignantly conveys Kyra’s misery (...) And the actress’ finesse makes it worth the watch."
