Sweet Virginia's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
"It?s this strange alchemy ? the way that a terse script can leave so much unsaid, combined with such a talented ensemble?s ability to suggest all the details left either in silence or in darkness ? that makes 'Sweet Virginia' such a haunting character study."
New York Times
A twisty, small-town thriller that blooms in the shadows and shies from the light, 'Sweet Virginia' marshals a relentlessly threatening mood from dangerous secrets and unpleasant surprises.
The Hollywood Reporter
What director Jamie M. Dagg achieves with his slow burn of a second feature is a total immersion in end-of-the-line atmosphere, with four superb central performances bringing archetypal intrigue to life.
Indiewire
"The film is gripping from start to finish, even when so much of its menace rings hollow."
The Playlist
"A movie that forgoes solid storytelling for an atmosphere that keeps you captivated, director Jamie M. Dagg has made a film that plays with genres from neo-noir to thriller to even horror.
Roger Ebert
The movie is well put together, enough so that if you?re not entirely tired of its clichés, it might constitute a tolerable entertainment. I?d rather watch ?Double Indemnity? for the 15th time.
