The Poker House Ratings & Reviews

Excellent movie
Behind The Lens
Debbie Lynn Elias
Lori Petty, we are all thankful for you and for The Poker House.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Farber
While the film has strong moments and performances, it illustrates the dangers of overly personal filmmaking.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Overall, the pacing feels languid to the point of meandering, relying too heavily on old soul records (and a final eight-track sing-along) for momentum and energy.
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
The movie seemed to point a finger at its own audience and scold it for its ignorance of this problem and apparent unwillingness to help.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...the acting is so good and the girls' struggle to rise above their oppression is so affecting, it's hard to knock the film's intentions.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Regardless of whether the film is all fiction or all true or a mix, it has a ring of truth about it strong enough to sustain a defy-all-odds finish.
L.A. Weekly
John Wheeler
The Poker House is one of the most personal, wounded films in years. That it is also one of the most confused reflects how deeply it springs from the psyche of its director.
