Miranda's Victim Reviews

If there’s anything the movie successfully pulls off, it’s that it reminded audiences of how good Abigail Breslin is.

| Original Score: B | Jul 7, 2024

The movie is a feminist reclaiming of the name best known for a suspect's constitutional rights. It successfully forces viewers to think about Weir's brave, heroic actions, even as they lead to more trauma for her.

Miranda’s Victim is an engrossing watch, and a quietly vital one. Don’t overlook it.

| Jan 17, 2024

Building in power and finesse, Danner oversees a very satisfying dialectical dustup.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 26, 2023

the most famous rape case in American jurisprudence, of 18-year-old Patricia Weir but she couldn’t say the word penis, which dragged the proceedings out for years.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 6, 2023

Miranda’s Victim succeeds impressively with terrific acting, an excellent script, and an extremely important story.

| Dec 5, 2023

Miranda’s Victim is not easy to watch. But like other Michelle Danner films this unflinching offering ends up being a movie that matters.

| Nov 6, 2023

Abigail Breslin plays the traumatized woman, and she's quite good, but it does go on a bit too long.

| Nov 1, 2023

’Miranda’s Victim’ is an important story that is as unpretentious as it is effective.

| Oct 20, 2023

Miranda’s Victim puts into perspective what victims of a sexual attack go through in a non-varnished way.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Oct 19, 2023

This truth-based drama is a story that should be told and one that is told very well by director Michelle Danner in MIRANDA'S VICTIM.

| Oct 19, 2023

Abigail Breslin turns in a powerful performance as a woman who faces victim-blaming at virtually every turn but finds the inner strength to stand up for herself and others like her.

| Oct 19, 2023

Miranda’s Victim is a harrowing story of the flawed justice system and a reclamation of power.

| Oct 19, 2023

Somewhere there is a film on this subject worthy of Abigail Breslin's performance but this one feels like every line reading is trying to hit a point rather than develop these characters into more than just over-the-top pawns to make them.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 18, 2023

While as a piece of filmmaking this is just workmanlike, it represents an earnest treatment of an important legal precedent and an affecting portrait of a heroic young woman.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 17, 2023

Danner’s professionally mediocre direction and J. Craig Stiles’ on-the-nose screenplay sacrifice nuance for a blunt approach that makes caricatures...

| Oct 16, 2023

The distinguished cast (Andy Garcia as Miranda’s initial lawyer and Donald Sutherland as a compassionate judge) is uniformly excellent.

| Oct 10, 2023

... gives the title character a worthwhile spotlight after all these years, even if it’s not as persuasive as she deserves.

| Oct 6, 2023

Nothing in MIRANDA’S VICTIM suggests that informing criminal defendants of their rights is a bad thing. What it does do is almost as revolutionary: it tells the story of Trish Weir, the then-18-year-old whom he attacked.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 6, 2023

Not a single performance was wasted in Miranda’s Victim, which was exactly the kind of production you need from such a heavy story.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 5, 2023
