Down to the Bone Ratings & Reviews
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
Though it runs slow at times, Down To The Bone showed more the emotional dehabilitation rather than the obvious physical ware drugs took on a small town mom...
EricDSnider.com
Eric D. Snider
The movie boasts a fantastic performance by Vera Farmiga and an exceedingly unhappy storyline. It's a movie you "appreciate" more than you "enjoy."
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
The movie takes us down an unexpected path with riveting skill and a refreshing lack of easy answers.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
The movie seems to be about drug addiction and recovery, but it gradually shifts, becoming a look from an unusual angle at what a big job it is to be a parent and the priorities it requires.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
Farmiga effectively shows the fear, need and hope at war within Irene, how the false high of being clean for a week can fade when she realizes the second week isn't going to be any easier.
Film Threat
Pete Vonder Haar
Strong performances from Vera Farmiga and Hugh Dillon keep things from becoming overdramatic.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
If there were an ounce of taste left in Hollywood, the magnificent Vera Farmiga would be a front-runner for the Best Actress Oscar.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
The film is so pitch perfect and realistic, it seems you are there with these people, watching their lives unfold before you as it happens.
New Times
Luke Y. Thompson
if you've ever wondered why people in 12-step programs aren't supposed to sleep together right off the bat, well, this movie is about to show you, in detail.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
A quietly harrowing chronicle of addiction and fragile recovery anchored by Vera Farmiga's intense performance.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Down to the Bone achieves what only the best independent films have: making life, at its most unvarnished, a journey.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
Conventional movies, even independent ones, tend to get histrionic and judgmental about such drug-related setbacks. But Granik's film, though hardly a clinical case study, keeps a measured distance from the heavy-handed or simplistic.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
... a harrowing character study.
New York Times
Dana Stevens
[A] small, beautifully faceted gem.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
... a stark, realistic portrait of a working-class mother in New York's depressed Ulster County as she tries to battle a drug habit.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Down to the Bone emerges with an aura of authenticity so strong as to be mesmerizing, thanks to a superior script brought to life with infallibly natural performances ...
Variety
Robert Koehler
First-time feature director's disciplined objectivity is coupled with humanism in this collaboration with a gifted cast and cinematographer.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
Quietly devastating.
Village Voice
Laura Sinagra
This film has an ear for the way moms talk to kids, a sensitivity to drug-sweetened intimacies, and an appreciation of the urgent nuance, not just the comedy, of recovery-speak.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
For actress Vera Farmiga, Down to the Bone presents her with a breakout role.
