Rating: 2/5 --
It is a strangely unsatisfactory affair that doesn't quite work either as a documentary-style reconstruction, a brooding thriller or a courtroom drama.

It's absorbing, sometimes upsetting, but finally self-thwarting.

Daily Telegraph (UK)
It never quite finds a reason to exist, and that's a genuine shame, as a case as multi-dimensional as the one it used as source material should have more than enough inspiration.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
In literary adaptations such as Felicia's Journey and The Sweet Hereafter, Egoyan has shown that he can depict darkness and explore loss. But here, he feels mired in stereotypes, or dependent on images that documentaries have already created.

Rating: B --
The courtroom drama is powerful enough to make us wish that they'd given less time to Ms. Hobbs and more time to showing us the rest of what's known to have occurred.
