Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

McKenzie's mercurial performance is the centerpiece of this sad, surprisingly absorbing story. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Director-screenwriter Kuryla displays some talent and an audaciously daring sensibility but ultimately fails to display the assured cinematic style that would make the unsavory proceedings more palatable. Read full review

David Sterritt

A promising feature-film debut. Read full review

Noel Murray

Though the whole of Freak Weather is too forced and fitful, significant stretches of the movie hold together. McKenzie gives a magnetic performance. Read full review

Laura Sinagra

Kuryla has her prole banter down, and moments like McKenzie's desperate dance on her jalopy hood when Turturro locks her out move beyond literary sting into kinetic and sympathetic gutter picaresque. Read full review

Eddie Cockrell

Fiction writer and debuting helmer Mary Kuryla is clearly after a Big Statement on abuse and strength of character, but falls short by creating a self-destructive monster in lieu of a sympathetic protagonist. Read full review

Russell Scott Smith

Mostly, Freak Weather is just pathetic. Read full review
