On the Outs Ratings & Reviews
TheMovieChicks.com
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone
Judy Marte once again shows that she's an actress to watch. She's a commanding presence on screen and demands that you feel for her, even though her story is not the most sympathetic.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Harrowing and heartbreaking, On the Outs is persuasively performed by fine actors, yet has the real feel of a documentary.
TheWorldJournal.com
Frank Ochieng
Granted that On the Outs doesn't explore any new realms of destitute city life but it still contains unspeakable moments of desolation and disillusionment.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
It succeeds, if unevenly.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
A work of harrowing, visceral power.
Los Angeles Daily News
Glenn Whipp
The filmmakers' sense of outrage is palpable, matched only by the despair coursing through the movie's brief 81-minute running time.
E! Online
E! Staff
Saves itself from after-school- special territory thanks to tough, human performances and plenty of streetwise authenticity.
L.A. Weekly
Ernest Hardy
Well-meaning but mediocre.
Variety
Joe Leydon
An attention-grabbing showcase for three promising actresses in sharply drawn lead roles.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
The performances are terrific: None is showy or actorish but earnest, truthful jobs laying bare souls in anguish.
Boxoffice Magazine
Bridget Byrne
Lori Silverbush and Michael Skolnik's film must live and die on the strength of its lead performers. Luckily, most of the time they are up to the challenge.
CinemaBlend
Scott Gwin
Guerilla storytelling on a profound level.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Documentarians by trade, the directors use rough DV cinematography and no score to amplify their tale's sense of lived-in reality.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
Though not highly structured, this is an intriguing docu-drama about teen delinquents in Jersey City.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
A starkly honest and affecting dramatic feature directed by Lori Silverbush and Michael Skolnik.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The lives of three desperate teenagers unravel in a docudrama based on actual case studies of young women who spent time in the Jersey City juvenile detention center.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
What makes the film feel genuine, however, are the performances.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
It delivers a genuine emotional wallop.
Village Voice
Laura Sinagra
The central trio handles the narrative burdens well.
