Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times The filmmaking is sure-handed, the performances authentic. Rated: 3/4 Oct 29, 2015 Full Review Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic 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 Oct 22, 2015 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 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 Oct 16, 2015 Full Review Jason Adams The Film Experience Meadlowlands does have a few nice performances even as it wrings every manipulative drop out of Dead Kid Grief it can Jul 2, 2021 Full Review Ren Jender Bitch Flicks Better films show us grief over the loss of a child in a more nuanced context. Mar 9, 2019 Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy This story is every parent's nightmare, yet [director Reed] Morano makes the world of Meadowland look like a dream.

Kenneth C The filmmaking is sure-handed, the performances authentic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/23 Full Review shing ching w "MEADOWLAND is a poignant and gripping film that features outstanding performances by Olivia Wilde and Luke Wilson. It's a deeply emotional exploration of grief that will leave you moved and captivated. Highly recommended." Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/07/23 Full Review Yvonne T Good film. I like the film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/23 Full Review Alan M Story: 8/10 Music: 8/10 Nice movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/07/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A very depressing look at the affects of what the loss of a child would be like. Very well acted by the main characters. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
