Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
While Ms. Morton embodies the role with furious intensity and with a raw yet waifish presence that brings both Emily Watson and Claire Danes to mind, Ms. Adler directs the film in ways that live up to its title.

Although Iris has no idea who she is, Morton is utterly certain, and inhabits her temporarily defeated soul with an ease that knocks you out.

Morton makes Iris real. Every moment she's on screen, the actress forces us to accept Iris as a living, breathing individual.
