Critic Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter - Sheri Linden

May 12, 2017

Katie Says Goodbye is a plaintive story of hard luck and fringe dwellers, one that might have felt clichéd in lesser hands. But first-time filmmaker Wayne Roberts conjures new, resonant chords in his taut, tender drama. Read full review

Screen International - Allan Hunter

May 12, 2017

A luminous, heartbreaking performance from Olivia Cooke shines through every frame of Katie Says Goodbye. Read full review

The Film Stage - Jordan Raup

May 12, 2017

Everything Roberts wants to convey is obtrusively front and center, leaving little room for the viewer to have any interpretation for themselves. Read full review

Variety - Geoff Berkshire

May 12, 2017

Even if first-time writer-director Wayne Roberts is sympathetic to the plight he’s chosen for the protagonist, his film never burrows deep enough under her skin to make the string of miserable scenarios connect in a meaningful way. Read full review

Los Angeles Times - Kimber Myers

Jun 6, 2019

A film that deserves scrutiny for its treatment of its young female protagonist. Read full review

TheWrap - Alonso Duralde

May 12, 2017

Which version of the film each viewer sees will be a subjective choice, of course, but the fact that the lead character is so utterly guileless and innocent and kindhearted...makes Katie less a victim of the world and more a victim of first time writer-director Wayne Roberts. Read full review

Observer - Rex Reed

A miserable hunk of depressing junk. Read full review

This film lives and dies with Olivia Cooke's performance and I'm glad to say it lives because Cooke gives one of the best performances I have ever seen on screen. The raw emotion from scene to scene as her hope fades really makes you feel for her character. It was to the point where I wasThis film lives and dies with Olivia Cooke's performance and I'm glad to say it lives because Cooke gives one of the best performances I have ever seen on screen. The raw emotion from scene to scene as her hope fades really makes you feel for her character. It was to the point where I was genuinely mad at the other characters in this film that wronged her. This movie isn't perfect, but it's worth it just for Olivia.… Expand
