Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times By embedding Jennifer's mental issues in a murder mystery of unmitigated tedium, this low-budget drama essentially cuts its own throat. Mar 27, 2014 Full Review Calum Marsh Village Voice What remains seems in some ways closer to a parody of bad thrillers than an earnest example of one - the only difference is that Nothing Without You doesn't know that it's funny. Mar 25, 2014 Full Review Prairie Miller Critical Women A moral thriller with a highly unusual provocative twist, that women even when most questionable can be complex, empathetic beings. Unconventional, courageous filmmaking, subverting stereotypical notions of politics and seemingly scary women on the edge. Mar 29, 2014 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International So abysmal, so unintentionally funny. Mar 28, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This well-crafted film, a 2012 Toronto International Indie Film Festival winner, features the engaging musical score of Hollywood Composer Victoria de la Vega. Audiences at the 2013 Sarasota and Santa Fe International Film Festivals were moved by the empathetic psychiatrist who empowers his client, a needy misdiagnosed young woman, to save herself, after the mental health system forsakes her and the criminal justice system condemns her. This 95-minute emotional roller-coaster ride provides enough comic relief to keep viewers from slipping off their seats during the intense denouement, wondering what is real, or fantasy. A gifted cast and crew deliver a stellar performance in this riveting 4-star film, soon to be released on DVD by Netflix. -- Koula Svokos Hartnett, author of Zelda Fitzgerald & the Failure of the American Dream for Women Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Saw this indie thriller at the Quad Cinema in NYC. Great story and good performances all around - but the lead actress was fantastic! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member After an slow start this film drew me in, deeply. Emily Fradenburgh's performance carried the film with Keith McGill right on her heals. Both of these actors deserve attention and a following. Xackery Irving also deserves a following. More 'crisp' editing, particularly at the outset would move this film to another level but it is definitely worth a look Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A tight, riveting indie thriller. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. Great performance from Emily Fradenburgh as Jennifer Stidger. Catch it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
