ORPHANS

“…a strong drama of heartache with two lead performances that are honest, blemishes and all.”
Steve Ramos
-IndieWIRE

“…simultaneously summons the spirits of Bergman’s “Cries and Whispers” and Brian De Palma’s “Sisters.”…”
Andrew O’Heir
-Salon.com

“…Orphans manages to derive as much compelling energy from its locations & spaces (of the wide open & claustrophobic variety alike) as from its two terrific lead actresses, a rarity these digital days.”
-Andrew Bujalski

“…an evocative, character-driven feature…”
-The Daily Texan

“..Orphans is beautifully shot, and the performances of both women seemed heartbreakingly real, with a tentativeness that seemed straight from the heart.”
Chris Kaltenbach
-Baltimore Sun Blog

“…Russo-Young’s vision is well-rewarded by the Special Jury Award, and it should affirm the young director’s rise in a new American independent cinema.”
-PopMatters online
