Balas is blessed with a strong ensemble cast led by Herlihy who manages to be convicting and convincing by offering a natural, authentic performance that vividly brings to life the very real tensions that can exist between two siblings -Richard Propes, The Independent Critic
Part of Everyone says...'s success is the fearlessness concerning negative space, visually & orally. Herlihy is a confident artist. - Jim Pavlik, Indy Film Fest
... from tearfully recounting a dream she’d had of her mom or candidly confronting Balas’s Rowan about how his modern photography will begin to support her sister, it’s Herlihy whose scenes will linger long after the film ends. -Jen Jonas, Film Intuition
Later, Emmie (Herlihy) poses in a solo session that strips away her facade of flightiness, first erotically and then more profoundly. - Christopher Lloyd, The Film Yap
What it Was
2014
As she works through her relationship with her mother and her husband, she also rekindles an old romance with Toni (an excellent performance by Herlihy) - Brian T. Carney, Washington Blade
Love Me Anyway
2015
Everyone gives great performances, but the two star players for me are Edgar Muniz as Eddie and Dee Herlihy as Esme. Their acting abilities really shine during their fight scene. -Brooke Mickler, The Film Yap
HYMNS
2017
As Ingrid, Herlihy has to do a lot of the heavy lifting performance-wise, and she’s able to keep the character sympathetic even as she becomes more and more unhinged and erratic. -Nick Rocco Scalia, Film Threat
