While Gyllenhaal's work should be enough to satisfy anyone wondering why this movie needed to be made twice, Colangelo makes fine use of the story's new American context.
[Maggie] Gyllenhaal offers a beautifully nuanced performance full of intelligence and desperation. She taps into something deep about the unmet emotional needs of a woman whose life is spent putting forth energy toward others.
[Maggie] Gyllenhaal, appearing in every single scene of the film, gives a completely committed, three-dimensional performance.
Lisa's drive is more than biological; it's intellectual and emotional, and that's what keeps what often risks becoming camp madness in an identifiably human place - almost all the way to the end.
Rippling with psychological complexity and sneaky humor, this is a rich character study that takes constantly surprising turns, which should appeal to audiences hungry for idiosyncratic adult drama.
A movie whose glass is half empty - maybe it's just not possible to have a story about a 5-year-old's de facto stalker that isn't sure what it (or we) should think about the matter.
