    amber tamlin is a schoolgirl unknowingly pregnant, killing it in shock, when it suddenly miscarriges and shes delt holding it in a toilet, and tilda swinton as a physcologoist dealing with her to determin in court if she was in a capable state, focusing on the teens pre pregnant state and aftermath, and swintons own personal demons with her own life. some great performaces from the two, a typical indie american effort, quite edgy looking, and a story although not focusing on eventual trial, is engageing enough

    I like Tilda Swinton and the stories of Stephanie and Lydie that went side by side worked pretty well and the way they connected was enough to hold my attention. Still, the whole thing about pregnancy-abortion gets a little tiring. It reminded me of 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days. And not in a good way.

    Disturbingly Raw and honest with its subject matter Stephanie Daley treads where few movies have been before. Although it moves at a slow pace it is worth the wait just to see how the two lead characters lives connect. It also shows how destructive denial can really be. Swinton and Tamblyn are powerful in their roles and carry the films brutal subject matter.

    I don't like Tilda Swinton ever when she's in something, but I can't deny she's a fantastic actress. This movie was slow-moving, but the character development was interesting, and it managed to hold my attention, despite the fact that I saw it by accident.

    This movie was very disturbing. I do not believe you don't know your pregnant. I think that is the biggest lie ever. I can't believe no one heard this girl giving birth. To have a baby in a bathroom then see her move and not do anything is crazy. She wrapped the baby up in toliet paper and said "I killed her with my mind" As for the movie basis it keeps you watching but its a very upsetting movie.

    A quiet, thought provoking film where you are left with your own thoughts. Amber Tamblyn is amazing in the bathroom scene,you want to scream for her. Tilda Swinton's performance again makes you feel you are a part of the experience. Shocking film quiet in its message,but painfully loud with its characters.

    _Stephanie Daley_ had been built up so much to me ("easily tied for the best film I saw all year with _The Lives of Others_") that it would have to disappoint a little. The "making of" documentary stated that they worked really hard not to pass judgment on the film's characters; it worked. I have a feeling that about a week from now, I'll wake up in a cold sweat thinking about this film, but it didn't *quite* have that effect on me upon viewing.

    Incredible performance by Amber Tamblyn. Story about two women, their insecurity and identity. A bit too slow, and the plot could've been tighter

    A rather sad disturbing movie that left me feeling how little concern some have for an unborn child.

    Bland screenplay and miscast Tamblyn hurt what could have become a powerfully controversial film. Swinton and Hutton are fine, but the film never finds anything meaningful to focus on for any significant amount of time. Gives the audience no reason to continue watching beyond the first half hour.

    A strong little film led by equally powerful performances. It leaves the viewer to make his/her own judgments and I like that about it. It is a slice of life with the gritty raw edge that life has to offer us sometimes....horrific at times, poignant at others

    Different than what I was thinking it was going to be like, but it was still good. Plus, I enjoyed watching the confused looks on the people that went with me. They didn't like the ending. FUNNY! Love Amber, so that also counted for a lot.
