Reviews

"It's mysterious and bold at every turn, and refreshingly removed from the commonplace."

   - Scott Tobias, The Onion (A.V. Club)

"Down in the Valley is exactly what we don't have enough of: It's singular, unusual, unexpected, fresh and familiar at once."

   - Stephen Hunter, Washington Post

"The movie belongs to Wood, who creates a unique portrait of a girl hesitating at the threshold of womanhood; she's smarter, more attuned, and more spiritually ambitious than those around her, but also too decent and loyal to break from the world she knows-and too unformed to have a grasp of what she wants outside of that world.
