Critic Reviews of "A Cry in the Dark"
Chicago ReaderDecember 19, 2011Streep's beauty and talent and director Fred Schepisi's intelligence are both shown to best advantage, without easy points or grandstanding.
Los Angeles TimesDecember 19, 2011Streep and Neill are the film's perfectly matched thoroughbreds. But the film is neither a double star turn nor the best kind of courtroom drama; it is a sort of epic mosaic of national character.
New York TimesAugust 30, 2004Streep ... plays Lindy Chamberlain with the kind of virtuosity that seems to redefine the possibilities of screen acting.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000Streep -- yes, with another perfect accent -- brings her customary skillfulness to the part. It's not a showy performance, but the heroine's internal struggle seems to come from the actress' pores.
Empire MagazineDecember 19, 2011The powerful performances and sharp script augment this revealing human drama.
EmanuelLevy.ComJune 30, 2005Meryl Streep gives another stellar performance in this fact-based Australian drama about a working class woman accused of killing her daughter.
Nick's Flick PicksSeptember 25, 2004Admirably off-putting performance by Streep in a reasonably involving Australian court drama.
F5 (Wichita, KS)July 08, 2004Remarkably even-handed; Streep's much-touted performance distracts.
MovieholeMarch 04, 2004Streep is a sensation....haunting stuff
TV GuideJuly 30, 2003A poignant family-in-crisis drama aided by spectacular performances from Streep and Neill.
