"Fine performances by Richardson (as Ulee's helpful doctor neighbor and potential love interest), Dunford (the daughter-in-law), and Zima (a veritable Ashley Judd in miniature who plays Ulee's youngest granddaughter) add richness and impact to the deliberately paced story."
- by Russell Smith of The Austin Chronicle
"Of particular note among the uniformly strong supporting cast is Vanessa Zima, who plays Penny, Ulee's youngest granddaughter: she's such a solemn little sweetheart, it's not hard to understand why she awakens long-dormant maternal instincts in her drug-addict mother (a painfully convincing Christine Dunford)." - from Skander Halim's Film Geek Haven
"Especially wonderful is Vanessa Zima as the younger granddaughter, Penny. An rather wonderful scene is her description to her mother of how the bees are  sometimes scared and fly off, and have to be brought back. 
Watch for it." - by Seth Bookey
