The narrow scope and narrow determinism of the action in "Christine" is unfortunately matched by the narrow-albeit immensely skillful and committed-acting that Campos elicits from Hall.

Rich in dramatic detail and psychological insight, the film approaches its protagonist with genuine concern.
Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer
Fresh
By turns coolly observed and disquietingly compassionate - qualities that also describe Rebecca Hall's brilliant central performance - the movie drifts alongside its subject, Charon-like, through the hell of her last weeks.
Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
A great performance does not necessarily make for great tragedy, and "Christine" remains mired in the minutiae of its portrait of a doomed, bitter young woman.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Fresh
Hall is both eccentric and touching as a promising, complicated and needy woman on the edge of her personal abyss.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
