Critics Consensus: Led by a potentially starmaking turn from Sophia Mitri Schloss, Sadie's family ties bind viewers into a uniquely disquieting drama.

Its honesty and power makes it feel large; you live among these characters in their weary trailer park, aching for them.
Schloss owns "Sadie" in a finely-tuned performance of a girl learning her own power and the consequences of her actions.
Sadie shares its protagonist's most defining attribute-a frustratingly manipulative nature.
You're likely to believe Sadie more than you believe "Sadie."
Excellent performances and vivid atmosphere compensate for the plot contrivances.
You live among these characters, aching for them.
Disquieting and deeply moving, Sadie takes its story to extreme lengths while still feeling utterly grounded in the emotional reality of its characters. It's not an easy watch, but it's worth it.
"Plays as a kind of dark, slightly unreal fairy tale-like a Roald Dahl yarn where the kids take things just a little too far for comfort."
An ultimately imbalanced, slow, and a coming-of-age tale that is deeply flawed
This tale of a teenaged girl's crossing the boundary from childhood to too-early adulthood, simultaneously a portrait of a society quietly yet inexorably collapsing, has a disturbing power that sneaks up on you.
Sadie solely serves as a breakout performance from Sophia Mitri Schloss, who utterly disappears in the lead role.
It's a moving meditation on the consequences of brutish escapism.
