Schneider making a particularly strong - and yes, moving - showing as Imogene.
Beatrice Schneider is a transformative point for the film and the community - making the emotional center of this piece, now 52 years old, work for a whole new generation.
The real standout remains Beatrice Schneider's Imogene. This young actress portrays a complex soul with raw charisma.
Beatrice Schneider gives us a stunning performance that constantly interrogates the mood swings caused by grief…within that terror there's a deep sadness borne from Abigail's need to escape her harsh reality.
Led by a never-better Judy Greer and a terrific young performance from Beatrice Schneider, this is an uncommonly terrific family comedy.
Schneider's performance as the unruly preteen, whose rough edges mask a softer and more sincere side, makes it easier to buy Imogen's transformation.
Playing a tough kid with inner vulnerability in a realistic manner is difficult. The young actress absolutely nails that dynamic.
A star-making turn…Beatrice Schneider is very, very good here.
Beatrice Schneider as Imogene is a revelation.
Beatrice Schneider's Imogene stands out as the oldest and most mature…depressingly, a pseudo-mother to her brothers and sisters. Beatrice Schneider is a genuinely special find, convincingly driving home the emotional beats.
Schneider's plaintive face is the film's superpower.
Beatrice Schneider, who plays Imogene… the heart and soul of the film, and provided most of the best moments.
KCRWThe Best Christmas Pageant Ever
Beatrice Schneider is excellent as young Abigail - she does a great job of conveying Abigail's good intentions even as she struggles, in the absence of any parental guidance, to make sense of the world around her.
Beatrice Schneider...I'm like, 'this young woman has a lot of talent already, and I can't wait to see where she goes with her career.'
This is one of the best performances by the chorus I've seen yet…a very creepy effect and kudos to those three young actors Hawthorne Wilde Fowler, Mila McQuat, and Beatrice Schneider!

On working with Bea.

She's like Superwoman.

We were running out of time. I said, 'Bea, just direct yourself through this one.' She said, 'Okay.'

There's something in her eyes.

There's something in her, a vulnerability…I'm so lucky, so fortunate to have this girl. Even among all these adults she was extraordinary.

The moment we saw Bea, our jaws were all on the floor.

We were like, 'Oh man, this kid is so smart.'
