Holler Ratings & Reviews
Observer
Siddhant Adlakha
Holler is a gorgeously-textured exploration of the way ruthless corporatism trickles down through each layer of a country, and a system, until it falls on the shoulders of a young girl and obscures her future. Jessica Barden pens sonnets with her silence.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Holler has a basic conviction and authenticity that makes it worthwhile.
We Live Entertainment
Aaron Neuwirth
There's a familiarity to this story overall, but writer-director Nicole Riegel makes the most out of the idea of a smart young woman trying to escape a life of poverty.
Spectrum Culture
Alan Zilberman
Director and writer Nicole Riegel declines to judge any of her characters, and instead shows how widespread poverty affects everyone a little differently.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
Miss Barden is just wonderful in this movie, but so is everyone else.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Angie Han
Honest, gritty, and thoughtful.
Common Sense Media
Tara McNamara
Using her own life as an inspiration, writer-director Nicole Riegel skillfully crafts a portrait of a teen girl trying to escape poverty without abandoning her family.

Carla Renata
Jessica Barden, Pamela Adlon and Gus Halper knock it out of the park with the girtty tale of escaping the trash heap of poverty for a better life. Kudos Nicole Reigel for sharing your heart!
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
While the broad strokes of Nicole Riegel's story might sound familiar, "Holler" finds its power in the particularities, especially Jessica Barden's unfussy and wholly believable performance.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Barden's central performance is as tough and honest as the film calls for, and even if a closing riff feels slightly borrowed from "Good Will Hunting," "Holler" is a solid entry in the Midwest Desolation canon.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
A modest classic -- hopefully the first of many from a major new voice in American cinema.
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
An unflinching autobiographical work about what it takes to lift oneself out of this marginalized life.
Salon.com
Gary M. Kramer
Holler is a compassionate film, and a worthwhile one, even if Riegel gets her points across bluntly.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
For all the scenes of desperate people doing desperate things in order to stave off literal starvation while working dead-end or downright criminal jobs, Riegel somehow manages to imply short, sharp shock of actual hope by film's end.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Even the medium - Super 16-millimeter film, in the era of digital - adds to the ambience of rusting, abandoned machinery.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
A film that is heart-rattlingly poignant, haunting, and among the best of the year.
AV Club
Katie Rife
[A]side from the scraggly forests and ominous smokestacks that writer-director Nicole Riegel films in gorgeous, grainy 16mm there's not much that's memorable about this story.
AWFJ.org
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
Holler is a compelling, confident film about family, loyalty, hope and self-care, executed with a firm directorial vision and speaking with an authenticity and genuineness that is unambiguously refreshing.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jourdain Searles
Riegel seems to still be hung up on Winter's Bone, making a slavishly imitative film with few flourishes that allow it to stand on its own.
Variety
Peter Debruge
The director has a secret weapon in Barden, who makes Ruth's story relatable, even to those who've been fortunate enough to avoid such hardship.
