Steal Me Ratings & Reviews
TV Guide
Ken Fox
If Alexander's performance isn't exactly a revelation, he's modest enough to allow pros like Seymour, a gifted actress usually relegated to supporting roles, do their thing.
Entertainment Insiders
Jonathan W. Hickman
The often meandering Steal Me is a film that says just enough and leaves the rest to us to work out.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Everything about Steal Me, the new feature from the writer and director Melissa Painter, feels dangerously overripe.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Solid performances can't save Melissa Painter's pretentious teen drama Steal Me, which plays like a cross between Dangerous Skin (without the gay sex) and Picnic (without the production values or credible situations).
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
Drifter comes to small town, gets all the ladies hot. But it's not the steamy, literate Picnic, starring William Holden - instead it's the pretentious Steal Me, an artily photographed, puzzlingly acted indie.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Steal Me is a beautifully realized small film of understated power.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
A garbage bin for contrived poetic platitudes and ruminations on sex and stealing.
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
The plot is never overwrought, but it never fully ripens either, mostly because of some of the actors' self-consciousness and the stop-and-go pace.
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
Big Sky Country offers up an introspective teen drama about a teenage kleptomaniac who can't steal a break.
E! Online
E! Staff
The result is a film imbued with the tender awkwardness and poignancy of those first wary explorations--those electric moments that occur in the small space between childhood and newly discovered maturity.
Film Threat
Jeremy Mathews
Nobody in the film is going to steal the audience's attention span.
Village Voice
Ben Kenigsberg
Steal Me has at least one indie-film clich too many.
Variety
John Anderson
What it lacks is believable dialogue, credible relationships and a serious foundation for its overripe psychology.
Film Journal International
Harry Haun
[Painter's] best achievement is the way she skillfully manipulates her almost-known cast into complicated characters that you can care about.
L.A. Weekly
Ernest Hardy
It's not really original stuff, and there are few genuine surprises, but Painter skillfully layers visual details and off-the-cuff dialogue into a smart, condescension-free piece on small towns and the complicated lives they contain.
