Kira's Reason: A Love Story Ratings & Reviews
Miami Herald
Marta Barber
In Stine Stengade's intensely engaging performance, Kira is always one step away from the abyss, although, without apparent effort, she manages to hang on.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Philip Martin
...Stengade's portrayal of a mad housewife is alternately arresting and repelling, the kind of work for which they ought to hand out statues.
Apollo Guide
Dan Jardine
Its pat finale ill-befits a film that otherwise strives successfully for stark emotional realism.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Tying up the psychological loose ends of a movie that promised so much more, the trite ending subscribes to the bogus therapeutic notion that one good cry and a confession of vulnerability can wipe away a lifetime of repression.
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
As [Kira's] actions become more impulsive and her marriage unravels, the film is engagingly unpredictable.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Stengarde gives an arresting performance as a mentally unstable woman.
Premiere Magazine
Laine Ewen
Stengade, in her first leading role, is at once vulnerable and frighteningly manic.
Boxoffice Magazine
Kim Williamson
Had the film's center been the husband, it would have been more intriguing.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
Easily one of the most affecting films of the year.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
[Allows] the actors to inhabit characters who are painfully contradictory, frustrating, flawed, vulnerable and bound to each other.
E! Online
E! Staff
This Danish import provides a showcase for the lead actors, especially wide-eyed Stengade, who manages sensuality amid all the emotional volatility.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The film never particularly achieves any depth or resonance and ultimately comes across as a series of wacky, albeit rather disturbing episodes.
Village Voice
Laura Sinagra
Despite Kira's Reason's chamber-drama focus, it never achieves [Madsen's] first film's intimacy.
Film Journal International
Maria Garcia
While Madsen and his Dogme 95 colleagues seek to overcome Hollywood's influence, Kira's Reason is an indication that they are a product of the same patriarchy.
