“A luminous, heartbreaking performance from Olivia Cooke shines through every frame of Katie Says Goodbye. (...) it has the emotional kick to connect with an audience hungry for distinctive American indie features. Critical acclaim, the buzz generated by a star-making performance from Cooke and possible awards season attention should all enhance theatrical prospects, especially internationally."
SCREEN
"First-time filmmaker Wayne Roberts conjures new, resonant chords in his taut, tender drama about a young truck-stop waitress who dreams of life beyond her edge-of-the-map town. With its superb cast’s finely etched characters, led by Olivia Cooke’s memorable work in the title role and featuring a heart-stoppingly lovely supporting turn by Mary Steenburgen, the quietly assured debut would be a worthy addition to any art-house schedule." HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"Finding an indie gem is like discovering gold, except you really want to tell everyone about it. ”Katie Says Goodbye” is truly one of those golden film festival gems. First time writer and director Wayne Roberts enters the festival arena with this polished story, eloquent and heartbreaking, yet still inspiring, starring Olivia Cooke, Jim Belushi, Chris Abbott, Chris Lowell, and Mirielle Enos. This is the culmination of talent and dedication this film requires to give it the life it deserves.”REEL HONEST -
