Despite a finely wrought lead performance by Dakota Fanning, the drama feels more like the stuff of a mild - and dated - YA novel than an involving exploration of female experience.
Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
One insurmountable problem is that the stars, especially Ms. Olsen, 25, are too old for their roles. Another is that the movie has more characters than it can begin to accommodate in 91 minutes.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten
Disappointingly, Foner's young heroines are defined primarily by their reactions to other people. It's a great credit to Olsen and, especially, Fanning that they manage to make these characters vibrant and sympathetic anyway.
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Rotten
A drama that feels like an old person's idea of what young people are like.
Kyle Smith, New York Post
