3/4
"Where is Kyra?" is a small story - there's much about its main character that we'll never know - and a terribly sad one. But it's a remarkable showcase for Pfeiffer, who'll break your heart in every scene. Go to Full Review

Pfeiffer is good - she's always good, and raw, and effective - but watching her here is like seeing her under glass from a block away. Go to Full Review
Justin Chang Los Angeles Times 04/12/2018
This woman may be lost to the world, but in Dosunmu's quietly shattering vision, she is also unexpectedly, triumphantly found. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
If one gets a sense of being consumed by the film's crushing tone and impeccable sense of ambience, Dosunmu and Picoult deliver a dynamite third act climax. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
Dosunmu seems self-satisfied in securing the gloomy spirits, never excelling in fighting lethargy. Go to Full Review

4/5
A compelling, nuanced character study of an unemployed woman who once lived a comfortable life and now finds herself teetering dangerously close to the poverty line. Go to Full Review

Diaulas F Mar 1 Um filme fabuloso. Pfeiffer deveria ter sido mais reconhecida por todos por esse filme. Ela teve uma de suas mais perfeitas atuações. See more Alec B 01/05/2024 The ending is so depressingly inevitable, but that's the point. Pfeiffer is just so, so good here. See more Jerod S @jeroduptown 04/15/2022 Pfeiffer's lost her mom, and her light in this movie. She's desperate for money and dresses as her mom to get $ and stay afloat. Not sure where the "hard hitting" drama comments come from - it's a flat plot. See more 03/01/2020 Another Dosunmu masterpiece. See more 05/24/2019 Horror film to say the lease . See more 12/20/2018 Drama that slowly unfolds to a climatic ending. Excellent acting by Michelle Pfeiffer. See more Read all reviews
