Critics Consensus

Where Is Kyra? rests on Michelle Pfeiffer's magnetically raw performance -- and lives up to it with a trenchant, hard-hitting story.

Moira MacDonald

Seattle Times

"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.

Rated: 3/4

San Francisco Chronicle

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.

Rated: 1/4

Los Angeles Times

This woman may be lost to the world, but in Dosunmu's quietly shattering vision, she is also unexpectedly, triumphantly found.

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

Always Good Movies

Dosunmu seems self-satisfied in securing the gloomy spirits, never excelling in fighting lethargy.

Screen Zealots

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.

The ending is so depressingly inevitable, but that's the point. Pfeiffer is just so, so good here.

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.

I think it's scary to know that this is REAL in today's society and sad to know some people shamelessly will see this as an option to help their financial situation, GREAT MOVIE!
