Palm Trees and Power Lines Ratings & Reviews
New York Magazine/Vulture
Roxana Hadadi
The relationship McInerny and Tucker build is so convincing in its mixture of exploitation and yearning that Palm Trees and Power Lines capably secures what Lea desires most too: your attention.
Anatomy of a Scream Podcast Network
Joe Lipsett
This movie is exceptional and I never want to see it again. It's executed so well, particularly Lily McInery and Jonathan Tucker's performances and that simple, devastating ending. A film that's hard to watch and even harder to forget
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Dack seems to have forced a copious personality-whether her own or Lea's-into a framework that fits it poorly. When the payoff comes, it's too little and late.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
It's a bold, bleak and unapologetic work exposing inescapable truths about the world, about sex and relationships and power.
In Review Online
Andrew Dignan
The film takes its characters, as well as the viewer, to some extraordinarily dark places, acknowledging the predatory underpinnings of the relationship, before concluding on a note as quietly despairing as any film in recent memory.
Rolling Stone
K. Austin Collins
This is a movie operating on the principle that the most routine form of this violence isn't sensational, but subtle.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
The kind of movie you watch increasingly through your fingers, not able to look away from what the 17-year-old heroine can't see or won't.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
Starts off as a depressive snapshot of youthful ennui and soon becomes a stark, harrowing story of predation and abuse.
RogerEbert.com
Katie Rife
Beyond simple documentation, the movie's intentions are fuzzy.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Ambitious, torpid, wildly overlong and frustratingly underdeveloped...
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Strauss
In the end, "Palm Trees" is everything an American independent film ought to be but rarely is.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
[Jamie] Dack has created a haunting portrait of how trust is manipulated and abused; the trust she builds up with her characters and audience, however, remains steadfast, resulting in a film of disarming candor and power.
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
You might know where this is going, but Dack and McInerny ensure you can't predict how it will feel, right or wrong.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Using wide-angle shots during its most intense and challenging moments, it's claustrophobically realistic and certain to make your skin crawl while you remain in awe of those central performances.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
What makes Palm Trees and Power Lines so disturbing is how we can see what's happening to Lea, even as she can't -- and how plausible the movie's disturbing conclusion really seems.
Harper's Bazaar
Tomris Laffly
Palm Trees and Power Lines goes somewhere even darker than Andrea Arnold's Fish Tank, with a brave query into the notion of consent and a gut-wrenching parting note that feels like a scream stuck in one's throat.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
Fleeting glances, nearly undetectable changes in body language, a haunting shift in tone and deliberate silences come together to form an unnerving examination of consent and predation.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
A character study that's anchored by a moving breakthrough performance from Lily McInerny.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
"Palm Trees and Power Lines" finds a truth, one it wrenches out of an experience.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Todd McCarthy
It's a life lesson that shouldn't have to have been learned this way, and Dack doesn't put any artificial spin on it to alleviate the nasty degradation of it all.
