Nice restrained \"psychological\" thriller that builds slowly. It's a nice change of pace from all the in your face slasher-torture porn movies that are popular now. Not to say that there isn't nudity and violence. Here those elements serve to further the story.

Total Film
Impressive, if messy, the film combines kitchen-sink drama with found-footage horror, perjuring itself with too many plot possibilities. Full Review
Ed Gonzalez
Slant Magazine
The film's inconsistent, largely bankrupt style is second to how hard and tackily it leans on the horror of child abuse to goose audiences. Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis
The New York Times
Generating suspense without blowing the special-effects budget, Mr. Sanchez paints an intimate portrait of a tormented personality. Though horrors are eventually unveiled, the film is more chilling in its slower, quieter moments. Full Review

Time Out New York
Judging from Sánchez's Lovely Molly, he'd like to get lost in the trees again, but now knows the path too well. Full Review
Nick Pinkerton
Village Voice
It can't sustain interest in the endless unraveling of Molly's psyche, which, as handled by Sánchez, has all the interest of watching an inexplicably untreated wound fester. Full Review
