The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerApr 10, 2014
Ms. Breslin and especially Ms. Henley are quite good, elevating a film that seems like an oft-told tale. Read full review

Time OutJoshua RothkopfApr 8, 2014
Perfect Sisters, which takes a dark, matricidal turn (inspired by an actual Toronto case), was never going to be a new "Heavenly Creatures." But give credit to director Stan Brooks for allowing his two former child stars some real meat to sink their teenage chops into. Read full review

Stan Brooks’ first directorial feature provides scant psychological depth, drawing its characters and staging their incidents in crude fashion, despite superficial production gloss. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierApr 10, 2014
This kind of thing requires a velvet touch, though director Stanley M. Brooks hits only hammer-heavy notes. Read full review
