Daybreak Reviews
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Though Daybreak boasts a couple of minor insights and a compelling performance from Pernilla August, only the masochistically inclined will consider them sufficient reward.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Involving and sometimes comically bleak but never fully convincing as drama.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Vituperation can be cleansing, but only in smaller doses than the ones offered up here.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
The Swedes just about have a patent on unrelenting dissections of marital discord.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
[A] difficult but ultimately rewarding film.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The emotional climate of Bjorn Runge's harrowing drama, which eviscerates the rot of three middle-class marriages, is harsh enough to produce frostbite.
New York Post
Debra Birnbaum
By the time the sun rises and these tormented parallel lives finally intersect, they've all achieved redemption -- as has the movie.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Always interesting in its execution, but disappointingly pat in its resolution.
E! Online
E! Staff
There isn't enough Zoloft on earth to sop up the weeping and gnashing of teeth. But the performances are good.
Filmcritic.com
Blake French
holds the audience at an uncomfortable distance.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
The movie is by turns darkly funny, grotesquely contentious and luminously familial.
Variety
Gunnar Rehlin
A dark and provocative drama about the need to go to the very edge to find possible redemption.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
In this cluttered ensemble film, characters are no more than the modern dilemmas they represent: upper-middle-class alienation, the exhausting pursuit of cash and middle-class trappings, paranoia, pill popping.
Los Angeles CityBeat
Andy Klein
There is very little wrong here - the performances are uniformly strong - but there is very little to justify the time, either
L.A. Weekly
Kim Morgan
We don't really care about these people -- we just want someone to make them stop.
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
The film's resolutions are either too facile or too vague.
