Eric Kohn - indieWIRE / The Wrap (TOP CRITIC) - "Kristen Stewart Redeems Herself" "Kristen Stewart’s status as the mopey face of gothic teenage angst in the “Twilight” franchise has easily overpowered the other achievements of her brief career. At age twenty, she has appeared in a number of thematically advanced character studies (“Adventureland” among them), suggesting the antithesis to the murky innuendo and hackneyed drama of the big screen vampire craze. More often than not, the Twilight movies downgrade Stewart’s talent from credible understatement to a plastic vision of post-adolescent frustration. In Welcome to the Rileys, the second feature from music video director Jake Scott, Stewart delivers the legitimate version of that archetype with a role that rejects commercial standards." "One of the higher profile stories in the weeks leading up to the Sundance Film Festival was the presence of Kristen Stewart in two movies, neither of which featured vampires or werewolves. The "Twilight" star has essentially gone back to her roots by appearing in two independent productions, much as she did for several years before getting involved with a big scale franchise. .... Fortunately, Stewart's acting abilities are on full display in her other Sundance offering, "Welcome to the Rileys." .... As a foul-mouthed underage stripper, Stewart risks making a spectacle of herself, but she remains intriguingly subdued in a manner that lends mystery and layers of depth to her character. .... The directorial debut of Jake Scott, it both displays his potential and reminds audiences why Stewart was so alluring in the first place."
Jake Coyle - Associated Press (TOP CRITIC) - "The scenes between Doug and Mallory are the best thing in "Welcome to the Rileys," which was written by Ken Hixon. Gandolfini, with a believable and not overstated Southern accent, plays reformer. Stewart, in what may be her best performance yet, warms to his caring while vacillating between hard rage." "But she's a captivating blend of fragility and strength. It's obvious that Doug's attempts to tame her can only partially successful."
Lou Lumenick - New York Post (TOP CRITIC) - "Audiences tend to avoid Kristen Stewart's non- "Twilight" movies like vampires fleeing daylight. Believe me, it's their loss." "Welcome to the Rileys," her latest, is another gritty indie drama from Sundance that will likely disappear as quickly as the underappreciated "The Yellow Handkerchief" and "The Runaways" earlier this year. Which is a shame, because Stewart's intense, courageous performance as a 16-year-old New Orleans prostitute is really something special."
