John Anderson Variety 06/22/2012
There's no shortage of blarney in Stella Days, helmer Thaddeus O'Sullivan's largely winning drama about '50s rural Ireland, but it's blarney with a twist. Go to Full Review Kyle Smith New York Post 06/22/2012
1.5/4
Soft Irish accents and good intentions aren't enough to save the poky Irish drama "Stella Days," set in a small town on the cusp of change in the 1950s. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 06/21/2012
2.5/5
Relaxed performances and pillow-soft photography compensate somewhat for the story's narrow ambitions, but they're not enough to invigorate a movie that clearly would rather charm than challenge. Go to Full Review Dakota Heveron Film Ireland Magazine Nov 24
This is a piece of cinema that is, in itself, a love letter to the form and well worth another look back if anyone missed it the first time around. Go to Full Review Mike Scott Times-Picayune 07/13/2012
2/5
Working from a script as uneven as his accent, Sheen turns in an otherwise strong performance, but the sanitized Stella Days generates no real spark. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 06/26/2012
Sheen powerfully conveys his character's crisis of faith and the lightweight film captures its bleak setting and quirky townsfolk. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
