But equally it is a credit to Weldon`s balanced conception, and Helen Millar`s performance, that this is not an Emma we can necessarily identify with. Millar manages all the raging, seducing, rationalising and downright madness with ease, alternatively hard-faced and positively deliquescing with rapture. Breakfast With Emma - The New Statesman, Gina Allum

Of the cast, Helen Millar stands out as Natasha, an ex-model with a troubled family background and severe psychological problems, she gives a persuasive portrayal of a damaged young woman who longs for friendship and attention yet fears intimacy on any level. The Brink - Film International, Daniel O`Brien

Geoff Church`s production is also vigorously acted by a strong cast... Helen Millar as his seductive sidekick puts flesh on Fleming`s argument. The Consultant - The Guardian, Michael Billington

Helen Millar is an icily brilliant Ellie, a fine specimen of youthful beauty frozen by disappointment in love into a hard-edged force of nature, bent on self-preservation. Heartbreak House - The Scotsman, Joyce McMillan

Helen Millar has an almost ethereal charm in the role. Arcadia - The Courier, Joy Watters

The cast of four, is terrific ...Helen Millar, playing his assistant Nicola, also undergoes tricky changes before the end, but they feel like credible components of her complex relationship with her employer. As she is alert to every change in the psychological weather, it feels so right that her hobby should be climbing frozen waterfalls. The Consultant - The Times, Jeremy Kingston

It is Millar`s performance, however, which rises from the good to the sublime. She grabs your attention and while she is on stage you cannot look away. As her character wastes away she makes you believe it six months of emaciation in 90 minutes and her bold, in your face depiction of a destructive young woman seeking power over her own life puts me in mind of the stellar performance of Katrin Cartlidge in Mike Leigh`s Career Girls. But she is possessed of an intensity far greater than Cartlidge ever achieved in her short career. I`m made to think of a young Jodi Foster, both by the virtuosity of her performance and her visage. Thin Toes - Fortunes Pawn, Tamara Gausi

Millar is captivating as a girl who uses anorexia to exact control over her otherwise chaotic Life. Thin Toes - Time Out
