Reviews
|
Los Angeles Times -
Lila & Eve is a standard-issue female vigilante thriller that's skillfully elevated by the performances of leads Viola Davis and Jennifer Lopez.

|
Slant Magazine -
Charles Stone III's film ultimately succeeds as a convincing social plea, but fails as compelling cinema.
|
|
Village Voice -
The movie, directed by Charles Stone III — who gave us 2002's likable Drumline — runs hot and cold, suspenseful and well observed, well acted and often affecting, but somewhat tiresome and implausible by the end.

New York Daily News -
You can get a little lost following the chain of drug dealers who Lila and Eve gun down. Then again, narrative coherence isn’t really the point. What is vital is Davis’ wrenching performance as a mother who’s done everything right, but remains powerless to keep her children safe.

Variety -
Although Davis’ performance is so good here, it’s tough to know where the real world ends and the vendetta fantasy begins.
