2.5/5
Everything about Steal Me, the new feature from the writer and director Melissa Painter, feels dangerously overripe. Go to Full Review
Jami Bernard New York Daily News Sep 9, 2005
1.5/4
Drifter comes to small town, gets all the ladies hot. But it's not the steamy, literate Picnic, starring William Holden - instead it's the pretentious Steal Me, an artily photographed, puzzlingly acted indie. Go to Full Review

2/5
Harry Haun Film Journal International Oct 6, 2005

Ernest Hardy L.A. Weekly Sep 22, 2005
It's not really original stuff, and there are few genuine surprises, but Painter skillfully layers visual details and off-the-cuff dialogue into a smart, condescension-free piece on small towns and the complicated lives they contain. Go to Full Review
