Village Voice
Taissa Farmiga (sister of Vera) is a marvel in the title role. - 60
Variety
A likable if overly familiar psychological thriller. - 58
The Playlist
Mark Strong and an underused Brian Cox are fine, and Taissa Farmiga demonstrates why she is acknowledged as one of America’s most promising young talents. But she deserves a better role, everyone involved deserves a stronger script. - 50
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
The younger sister of the formidable Vera Farmiga gives flat, rushed and unconvincing line readings, especially in her paragraph-long, exposition-packed monologues. Is that by design? Is this a clever teen “acting” to manipulate her memory detective? The actress should be better at masking that, if that’s the case. And if it isn’t, she should be just…better. - 50
RogerEbert.com
It's as messy as a teen’s bedroom and packed with all manner of distracting clutter that needlessly burdens a plot. - 30
The Dissolve
Its suspense is so nonexistent, and its supposed concerns—about the reliability of memory and the nature of truth—are handled so facilely, the film sells its own conceit short. - 30
Los Angeles Times
First-time Spanish director Jorge Dorado aims for Hitchcock and misses by a mile with Anna.
