Reviews

Myra received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike, with praise often directed towards Tom Sizemore’s intense and heartfelt performance. On IMDb, the film holds an average rating of approximately 5.3/10, reflecting a divided viewer response. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes have noted the film's earnest approach but commented that its pacing and storyline occasionally falter, which may challenge viewer engagement. Metacritic scores indicate an overall middling reception, with some pointing out that while the narrative is compelling, the execution lacks polish. A review by Film Threat highlighted Sizemore's 'raw, gritty portrayal' as a standout element but remarked on the 'occasionally uneven direction'. Conversely, some reviewers appreciated the film’s focus on character-driven drama and its unflinching look at difficult themes. Despite its shortcomings, Myra offers a poignant narrative that resonates with those who appreciate independent, emotionally charged cinema.
