Critics Consensus

Lila & Eve gets some mileage out of its formidable stars, with Viola Davis in particular proving that she will commandingly commit to any material, but this is a revenge flick served stale due to a lackluster script.

Minha opinião: Uma mãe que fica incosolavel com a morte do filho. Ela vai a policia dia a dia e percebe que eles não dão a atenção necessária para seu caso, para a sua perda. Então ela decide buscar sua própria justiça. E para incentivar isso surge alguém para incentiva-la que Jlo. E Viola vai ganhando coragem. E no momento que a justiça vai sendo alcançada pelas suas mãos, aparece a policia investigando. Mas a maior surpresa surge ao final. Quando se descobre que a persona de JLo é seu alter ego mental. Que traz esta força. Uma boa atuação de Viola e JLO. Roteiro: poderia ser melhor. Vale apena assistir? Sim Nota: 6

Viola can act almost anything - but she doesn't have much to work with after her son is killed in a drug deal gone bad. She then meets Lopez at a mom's support group - but JLo takes her down a revenge road she really doesn't want to travel.

While it could have easily been a pretty great Lifetime movie of the week, what LILA & EVE has going for it is that it's not what you expect.

Rated: B-

Dwight Brown

National Newspaper Publishers Association

The footage rolls to an ending that is satisfying and makes the time it takes to watch this crime thriller evolve worth the effort. Lila & Eve will someday be a great cable movie. For right now it is a compelling indie film.

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

Davis (who was an executive producer on the film) gives a strong performance, as if she were acting in one of those many prestige projects lighting up her resume. It's a noble try, but this dreck is beyond saving.

Rated: 2/4

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

So okay, Lila & Eve is basically a Lifetime movie with better production values, or Fight Club starring middle-aged ladies (an improvement, if you ask me). But [Viola] Davis' performance just destroyed me.
