Wilson and Wilde have a light touch that makes them perfect for the comedies they often make. Here, Morano leads them to much darker places, and they plunge right in.

Rated: 3.5/5

A film with two very strong central performances from a pair of underrated actors that falters by being so self-aware of the tortured existence it's attempting to capture.

Rated: 2.5/4

Meadlowlands does have a few nice performances even as it wrings every manipulative drop out of Dead Kid Grief it can

Better films show us grief over the loss of a child in a more nuanced context.

Certainly takes an unorthodox, occasionally stunted yet absorbing route as a film premised on a couple's abducted child. Really, Meadowland is effectively a character study and one of Olivia Wilde's best vehicles in her career so far.

A very depressing look at the affects of what the loss of a child would be like. Very well acted by the main characters.

Meadowland is further evidence of the love for indie cinema. This is a heartbreaking film of the characters attempting to move on after a family tragedy. Luke Wilson has never been the big name, but he has never been dull and his performance here is incredible. Olivia Wilde is the key to the film and she demonstrates why she now has the ability to step behind the camera. She is also in amazing form and it's tough to watch this film. Meadowland wasn't an easy film to track down, but I would recommend checking it out if you're a fan of indie dramas. This is a dark drama so be warned going in, but it's worth it. 29/02/2020
