Reviews
|
The Playlist -
It’s simultaneously incredibly pleasurable and quite disturbing, owing to its chilling elements and commentary on larger issues.
|
|
Village Voice -
Always Shine is a potent psychological thriller, all right. But it's also a powerful statement on the very industry that produced it.
|
|
The New York Times -
Always Shine is a deft, assured movie with a sly self-reflexive undercurrent containing commentary on sexism and self-idealization that’s provocative, and sometimes disturbing.
|
|
IndieWire -
Even as the movie lingers on the question of whether one woman has more talent than the other, Always Shine is an effective actor’s showcase for both of them.
|
|
Time Out -
What makes Always Shine transcend, though, is its long-telegraphed yet still unexplained switcheroo — not exactly new to fans of "Mulholland Drive" (or even "Freaky Friday") but near-experimental in its implications, given the context of two women struggling to make their professional marks.
