Top Critic...the acting is so good and the girls' struggle to rise above their oppression is so affecting, it's hard to knock the film's intentions.

Regardless of whether the film is all fiction or all true or a mix, it has a ring of truth about it strong enough to sustain a defy-all-odds finish.

Top CriticThe Poker House is one of the most personal, wounded films in years. That it is also one of the most confused reflects how deeply it springs from the psyche of its director.
