Critic Reviews of "The Poker House"
Hollywood ReporterNovember 17, 2014While the film has strong moments and performances, it illustrates the dangers of overly personal filmmaking.
VarietyNovember 17, 2014Overall, the pacing feels languid to the point of meandering, relying too heavily on old soul records (and a final eight-track sing-along) for momentum and energy.
Los Angeles TimesJuly 20, 2009Regardless of whether the film is all fiction or all true or a mix, it has a ring of truth about it strong enough to sustain a defy-all-odds finish.
L.A. WeeklyJuly 16, 2009The Poker House is one of the most personal, wounded films in years. That it is also one of the most confused reflects how deeply it springs from the psyche of its director.
7M PicturesMarch 02, 2011The movie seemed to point a finger at its own audience and scold it for its ignorance of this problem and apparent unwillingness to help.
Urban CinefileDecember 12, 2009One of those autobiographical films... like Running With Scissors... that shows how children can survive and even prosper emotionally, spiritually (eventually) despite a ghastly childhood
Movie MetropolisAugust 19, 2009...the acting is so good and the girls' struggle to rise above their oppression is so affecting, it's hard to knock the film's intentions.
