Critics Consensus

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Um filme fabuloso. Pfeiffer deveria ter sido mais reconhecida por todos por esse filme. Ela teve uma de suas mais perfeitas atuações.

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.
