Stray Dolls Ratings & Reviews
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
The last 15 minutes of the movie have so many absurd things happening ... that Stray Dolls should have been named Stray Plot Holes.
Film Inquiry
Rose Dymock
With strong performances by the young cast, and beautiful cinematography that skims the line between seedy and lurid, Stray Dolls is an intriguing crime drama with an important insight into a forgotten and left behind part of American society.
Shockya.com
Harvey S. Karten
Trump would gleefully cite Riz among his examples of immigrants who turn to crime in the U.S.
The Hollywood Outsider
Aaron Peterson
Geetanjali Thapa's captivating performance carries this taut, effective thriller across the finish line.
The Playlist
Andrew Bundy
Stray Dolls may not be destined to be the next American indie classic, but it's a powerful debut film with a stirring perspective on criminality and immigration.
TheWrap
Steve Pond
A trip to the dark side of the American dream, where everybody uses illusions and delusions to survive in a grimy landscape where they have no real options.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Claudia Puig
I think it's a mixed bag. There are times when it was intriguing... [But] the characters weren't terribly well developed.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
Every time you think you're [watching] a movie you've already seen a bunch of times, it takes a left turn. I rather enjoyed that about it.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
With energy and audacity to spare, the titular characters are more compelling than the generic crime thriller they inhabit.
Daily Film Fix
Jonathan W. Hickman
"Stray Dolls" is like a Harmony Korine movie with all the fun and energy drained out of it. All that's left is the dour, mean-spirited stuff that gives Korine's work it's importance but alone doesn't make for good cinema.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
The downbeat, disenfranchised "dark side of the American dream" thing has been done to death in a thousand noirs, but "Stray Dolls" elbows just enough room for itself in that crowded category...
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Stray Dolls ... doesn't quite make the case that [these characters are] worthy of much sympathy.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
"Stray Dolls" lacks some narrative momentum, as the characters drift from petty crime to petty crime and party to party. But the film has a remarkable sense of place...
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Despite its sense of dead-end desperation, "Stray Dolls" is made worthwhile by the richness of Shane Sigler's nighttime cinematography and the consistent empathy of its tone.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
A clever crime thriller pulls no punches but follows the thread of America's frayed social fabric.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
Were the bad guys, in the end, less central-casting and more mundane, Stray Dolls would be something like a neo-neorealist masterpiece. As it stands, it's a cathartic yawp announcing the arrival of a vibrant, raw voice in Sinha.
Film Threat
Matthew Roe
While I will keep my eye on the filmmakers as they continue to hone and improve their craft, as they possess a substantial amount of potential, there isn't much in Stray Dolls that I can genuinely recommend.
AwardsCircuit.com
Joey Magidson
Though not the intent of the filmmakers, the movie comes off cold and devoid of purpose. Any attempts at character building are surface level, at best.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
A taut and stylish thriller that manages to draw fresh blood from some very familiar territory.
The Hollywood Reporter
Justin Lowe
An emotionally driven crime drama following two disenfranchised young women determined to seize control of their lives on their own terms.
