Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertMar 9, 2011
I Will Follow doesn't tell a story so much as try to understand a woman. Through her, we can find insights into the ways we deal with death. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyErnest HardyMar 10, 2011
The entire cast is in fine form (Omari Hardwick, as Maye's maybe-suitor, pushes the sexual heat through the roof), but White's blistering performance sears the screen. Read full review
