Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times: VERY GOOD "...about a strong-willed Southern girl's transition to adulthood, finds virtue in vagueness and significance in the everyday.... delivers a lovingly personal observation of young people at a crossroads."(See all of Jeannette Catsoulis's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 332 words, 04/07/11
Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice: GOOD "Greene may intend Kati's story as a quiet tragedy, but the native feeling of that's-just-the-way-it-is lethargy ('Only in Alabama can you be a home-school drop-out') is rather convincing."(See all of Nick Pinkerton's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 204 words, 04/06/11

Christopher Gray, Slant: VERY GOOD "There's an indelible tension here, and Greene milks it for all its worth; in a way, this is the 'Everyone Else' of naïve high school love stories, complete with two extended musical numbers and a suitably ambiguous ending."(See all of Christopher Gray's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 463 words, 04/06/11

Robert Koehler, Daily Variety: GOOD (NOT GREAT) "...sensitive if somewhat messy... Robert Greene's film heightens the chaos that runs through everyday life, occasionally shifting to clips from Kati Genthner's childhood in the small town of Jacksonville, Ala."(See all of Robert Koehler's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 262 words, 04/05/11
