Sitting on the Edge of Marlene loses its way occasionally, but its aim is ultimately true.

NOW Toronto

Marlene is a drama queen in constant emotional flux, threatening to blow down the straw house the film constructs around her with every maniacal laugh or violent roar.

Rated: 2/5

Bruce DeMara

Toronto Star

Next time out, Valine needs to find a story with greater nuance and range. A film of such unrelenting darkness makes for a dreary cinematic experience.

Rated: 1.5/4
