Stephen Holden New York Times Feb 27, 2014
"Two Lives" is an absorbing, well-acted, moderately suspenseful mystery, although its time line of events is fuzzy to the point of impenetrability. Go to Full Review
Ella Taylor NPR Feb 27, 2014
Two Lives unfolds in a slow boil of rage at the government that allowed all this emotional destruction. But Maas treats Katrine with compassion, as a victim of forces more damaging than her own ravenous hunger for love and family. Go to Full Review
Joe Neumaier New York Daily News Feb 27, 2014
3/5

David Lamble Bay Area Reporter Jun 9, 2020

Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com Mar 27, 2014
B

Finn S Jul 30, 2014 It's mystery is kind of engaging for a while, but at times it is too melodramatic.
