Delia's Gone follows Louis (Stephen James), who has an intellectual disability and lives with his older sister Delia (Genelle Williams) amidst her struggles with addiction following their father's death. After a night of drinking, Delia's truck is found abandoned at a bar, drawing suspicion from the local sheriff (Marisa Tomei) who soon discovers she's been killed. All evidence points to Louis who, pressured by police, pleads guilty and is sentenced to five years in prison for his sister's murder. Upon release, Louis is confined to a home care facility where he is visited by Stacker (Travis Fimmel), one of the men to last see Delia alive, who implies that there is more to her death than meets the eye. Armed with this new information, Louis escapes the facility on a personal mission to find who is responsible for Delia's mysterious death.

Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's such a great premise... But the actual mystery that he's solving is not that compelling, so I found myself very restless. Aug 26, 2022 Full Review Glenn Kenny New York Times One watches this movie with a persistent “this is just … wrong” feeling. Aug 18, 2022 Full Review Luke Y. Thompson AV Club ...just another minor variation on the “sympathetic fugitive pursued by bickering lawmen” formula that Hell Or High Water briefly reinvigorated. Aug 17, 2022 Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com There is good acting here - Tomei, James, Houser - but getting through it is a slog. Rated: 5/10 Sep 21, 2022 Full Review Scott Campbell We Got This Covered The effort put forth by James, Tomei, Hauser, and Fimmel just about carries Delia’s Gone over the finish line, which offsets the overall lack of a laser-focused singular method of storytelling that would have improved things exponentially. Rated: 3/5 Sep 1, 2022 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots Walks a little too close to the sun with a problematic portrayal of an intellectual disability that feels borderline offensive and wrong, which makes the film uncomfortable and unpleasant to watch.

Patricia P Stephan James and Marisa Tomei acting was fabulous. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/22 Full Review P C Omg this was so bad…Stephan James is horrible, who is this clown!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review Selina A This is literally one of the worst movies that I have ever suffered through ... emphasis on suffered. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review harris r A waste of great casting and performances in this terribly paced and poorly plotted story. Conceptually, it's a great premise for a story, but producer, writer and director Robert Budreau missed a huge opportunity to make this a great film, had he at least consulted a seasoned filmmaker for much needed improvements in his writing and directing. His story lacked cohesion, intrigue or any suspense. It was told in a static, inconsistent and bland "as a matter of fact" style, that dismisses any opportunity to become captivated or invested, especially when the normally comfortable 90 min runtime dragged on and on with slow pacing and too much filler for the little substance this film had to offer. This film could've easily been cut down to a short film, and it would by more appealing and enjoyable. Budreau's choice of depressing drab colors and poor cinematography just made matters worse. You can also tell he failed to direct his cast properly, especially Marisa Tomei, who seemed lost and out of place in most scenes, as well as some ridiculous dialogue Budreau wrote for her character as well as Stephan James' character. It's a generous 6/10 from me, mostly going to the great cast who did their best with what they were given. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Chantelle A Just no. The only good thing about this movie was Travis Fimmel's performance. Marissa Tomei appears to have based her character on sheriff Woody. Stephan James' portrayal of a person in the spectrum is just offensive, stereotypical and overacted, i.e. the duck-like waddle. I found myself chuckling during serious scenes and had to fight the urge to walk out on multiple occasions. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/22 Full Review Read all reviews
