The Hollywood Reporter

Deraspe earns kudos for making a 2,500-year-old play feel vital, contemporary and cinematic.

Toronto Star

"Antigone" views the plight of desperate immigrants through the lens of Greek tragedy, wringing compelling drama out of a situation that too often resembles catastrophe in the real world.

Rated: 3.5/4

Anchoring everything are Ricci's bravura performance and Deraspe's smart script and confident direction.

In Their Own League

Ricci is astonishing as Antigone. She has a way of demonstrating so much raw emotion in her gaze and when she looks directly into the camera in one scene, it is almost like she is peering into the soul of the viewer.

Rated: 4/5

...the film is carried by Ricci, a magnetic actress appearing in only her second role, who is wholly believable as a teenager whose greatest strengths...are also her greatest weaknesses.

Rated: 7/10
