"A staggering revelation... a sterling juvenile thespian" - LA Times. "Reminiscent of ... fierce kids like Tatum O'Neal, Kristy McNichol, Jodie Foster..." - RogerEbert.com. "Pniowsky is especially phenomenal, a young performer who knows how to express vulnerability or curiosity or anger in a blink...The way she plays all of it is heartbreaking." - Rolling Stone Magazine.
