As for the performance of lead actors NaomiWatts and Ewan McGregor; Deborah Young from The Hollywood Reporter wrote:"Naomi Watts offers strong feelings of the broken and vulnerable Maria, whosetears of pain and fear were real and far from acting, whereas, McGregor wascovered with excessive blood and seems stunned in a way he would forget to havea bath. Nerves remain tense like a razor when he tries to find his family inwide and torn spaces of natural land."

Watts seems to be out to grab many awards asshe is nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Globes and the Critics GuildAwards.
