Rosie (2018)

"A bleak but necessary picture."

"Comparisons to Ken Loach's I, Daniel Blake are probably valid, but I preferred Rosie."

"Other films have bigger budgets and more glamorous stars, some even take home more awards. But few if any can quietly move you as much as "Rosie.""

"Doyle's screenplay is brutally specific about the overwhelming demands of child care under these circumstances, and Rosie's efforts to keep up appearances with relatives and school officials are heartbreaking."

"Thanks to a sterling central turn from Greene (plus solid support from Moe Dunford as her hard-working hubby), the film pits the unfeeling state against the near-mythic resilience of the family unit."

"There is great sadness in this film - and great anger."

"This small, tough film provides no easy solutions."

"A quietly, gradually heartbreaking portrait of regular people coping with a desperate situation..."

"A modest, social realist drama, its air of familiarity does not diminish its impact as a heartbreaker."
