Reviews
|
The A.V. Club -
A generous, unguarded performance from Rachael Harris cuts through the cuteness of a quirky premise in Natural Selection.
|
|
Rolling Stone -
Best known as Ed Helms' nagging fiancée in "The Hangover," Harris is just perfect without ever looking down on Linda's faith in God and herself. Her performance earns a special kind of glory.

|
San Francisco Chronicle -
The results are often comical, but Pickering who made the film in tribute to his mother, the real Linda White - imbues them with faith in something, maybe dignity, maybe love, maybe just the simple human urge to keep on moving.

|
Los Angeles Times -
An intriguing and intelligent first effort from indie filmmaker Robbie Pickering, digs deep into the heart of Texas for its soulful tale of small town saints and sinners and a road trip to redemption.

|
Slant Magazine -
The film works because what it documents is less a transformation and more a return to a former, more natural state for its troubled protagonist.
