Determined to raise cash for some Barbie Sunday dresses, the duo takes on a new hit, only to discover a kind of reckoning in the form of sad-sack shut-in (James Gandolfini) who is dying alone in his apartment of terminal cancer. He persuades the duo to kill him out of mercy, prompting an odyssey of self-examination that catapults the junior enforcers into a world beyond Barbie Sunday and bullets for pay. From Geoffrey Fletcher, the Academy Award-winning screenwriter of PRECIOUS comes a mesmerizing hybrid of New York City crime fable and existential coming-of-age drama in which teenage kicks match wits with adult-world turmoil, placing three wounded souls into a line of fire none expected - themselves.-- (C) Cinedigm

Critic Reviews
-
Peter Debruge, Variety
Geoffrey Fletcher's directorial debut manages to be precious in a whole different way, sadly far-removed from the approach he took adapting the novel Push by Sapphire.
-
Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
An ambitious but not wholly successful directorial debut by the writer behind the Precious film.
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
Violet & Daisy has been saddled with a consistently underwhelming execution that inevitably drains all of the life and energy from the proceedings.
-
Sara Maria Vizcarrondo, Boxoffice Magazine
The balance of naivete and insularly sweet exchanges are pleasing and comical but the film's painfully derivative.
