David Sterritt

Imaginatively acted, endlessly atmospheric. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

The cryptic finale raises more questions than it solves. But She's One of Us is such a fine work that answers aren't necessary. Read full review

Jami Bernard

Alnoy's unnerving mood piece is spare and atmospheric, even funny. The movie is accomplished, but gets hung up on arty composition. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Alnoy's narrative is better suited to a trashy thriller than a vehicle for weighty political themes. Read full review

Noel Murray

For all the smart visual design, though, She's One Of Us is frustratingly clinical. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Handsome but empty film. Read full review

Melissa Anderson

Quickly nose-dives into the ridiculous. Read full review

Certainly a noble first effort by a talented director, I was somewhat confused by the plot, though I knew the the premise, and so what? This film is all (fantastic) imagry, colors, angles, agonizingly slow, (but brilliant), horizontal/vertical pans, or no movement at all. Riveting.

"She's One of Us" is a little different. Christine's potential for violence This filmmaker has an eye. "She's One of Us" is gorgeously composed. There's also an odd editing rhythm that perfectly conveys how this temp passes by unnoticed as a potential ticking time-bomb. "She's One of Us" is a little different. Christine's potential for violence is not necessarily her nature, but is simply a product of her intense job dissatisfaction. Rather than leave behind a trail of bodies, Christine returns to model citizenry after her employment situation is more secure. Her evasion of the law isn't particularly exciting but it's not meant to be. Maybe it should've been. You don't particularly care if Christine goes to jail or not because her character is so inert.… Expand

Eerie, a bit macabre. The pale reviews leave me head scratching. I found myself sucked in from the get go and the rather unconventional camera work lent itself very well to the eerie tone of the film. A bit sad but very interesting and on the whole very successful film
