-
"'Savage Grace' comes up bland and seems to go nowhere in particular."
-
Julianne Moore proves game for anything in this pitch-black true-crime reconstruction."
-
"'Savage Grace' is a thoroughly disturbing story, told in a detached style rendering the overall experience an unsettling blend of lurid and vacuous."
-
"'Savage Grace' should have the force of Greek tragedy, but Kalin's chamber drama feels curiously stifling and flat, and Moore's volatile turn isn't enough to quicken its pulse."
-
"Living these lives, for these people, must have been sad and tedious, and so, inevitably, is their story, and it must be said, the film about it."
-
"Howard A. Rodman's script has a lot of juice, and the rhythms are so pregnant that the air vibrates with something, even if you're not sure what. "
-
"The director, Tom Kalin, stages acid duels, but he should have provided more psychological structure. Though Moore, a great actress, turns fury into verbal music, we're never quite sure what's driving her"
-
"The film walks the fine line between exploitation and empathy to cast a chilly, memorable spell"
