Katie Says Goodbye Ratings & Reviews
Reel Honest Reviews
Pamela Powell
It's a powerfully evocative story with outstanding performances, beautiful dialogue, and most importantly, a lasting effect of optimism.
Hollywood News
Joey Magidson
"Katie Says Goodbye" is nearly 90 minutes of terrible things happening to the protagonist. Despite strong work from Olivia Cooke, it's painful to sit through.
Observer
Rex Reed
The point of this grim first film by writer-director Wayne Roberts is that lousy things happen to innocent people. But Katie is guileless to the point of stupidity.

Jackie K. Cooper
Olivia Cooke gives a star making performance in this bittersweet story of one determined young woman.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
An unrewarding slide into hopelessness, asking the audience to endure painful acts of violence and humiliation in the name of characterization that's never truly there.
The Film Stage
Jordan Raup
Everything Roberts wants to convey is obtrusively front and center, leaving little room for the viewer to have any interpretation for themselves.
Michael J. Cinema
Michael J. Casey
Cooke gives a tour de force performance that Roberts smartly captures in a series of long takes.
Los Angeles Times
Kimber Myers
Torture porn is kinder to its victims than "Katie Says Goodbye" is to its heroine.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
The fact that the lead character is so utterly guileless and innocent and kindhearted -- she's essentially a smiley face with a "KICK ME" sign taped to her back -- makes Katie less a victim of the world and more a victim of writer-director Wayne Roberts.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
Wayne Roberts' powerfully low-key drama gets under the skin.
Variety
Geoff Berkshire
Even if first-time writer-director Wayne Roberts is sympathetic to the plight he's chosen for the protagonist, his film never burrows deep enough under her skin to make the string of miserable scenarios connect in a meaningful way.
Phoenix Magazine
M.V. Moorhead
Cooke gives the character such an indomitable spirit that she single-handedly lifts Katie Says Goodbye above its own miseries.
Film Inquiry
Amanda Nix
Playing an uplifting song at the end of a film doesn't resolve the absence of thematic meaning that was lacking throughout the entire movie.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
... generates sympathy for its hard-luck protagonist, due mostly to Cooke's powerful performance. However, there aren't many fresh angles to a familiar story of emotionally wounded loners.
The Pop Break
Marisa Carpico
In the end, Katie Says Goodbye is a strain of virulent misogyny disguised as a profound piece of art.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
We've seen many "hookers with a heart of gold" stories before, but none like this.
Paste Magazine
Michael Dunaway
Katie isn't an easy watch, to be sure, but it's very well executed and deeply felt. And it's always a joy to see a film where the director is so obviously in love with his lead character.
Film School Rejects
Matt Hoffman
As brutal as Katie Says Goodbye may be to experience, one cannot help but commend Roberts' control over the viewer.
Vague Visages
Andreea Patru
All in all, Wayne Roberts' directorial debut is a strong character composition.
