Reviews

Hitfix - Gregory Ellwood
If you’re wondering whether you’ll believe Streep is a convincing rock musician, please. It’s Meryl Streep here. She sounds like she’s ready to open for Bruce Springsteen.
75
IndieWire - Eric Kohn
When Ricki and the Flash pierces its conventional trajectory with music, it gets more interesting. But the fluff surrounding it holds together well enough.
70
Screen International - John Hazelton
A breezy but touching dysfunctional family dramedy, with real heart and some genuine musical soul.
67
Entertainment Weekly - Leah Greenblatt
Director Jonathan Demme and screenwriter Diablo Cody, both Oscar winners, have made far better films. Still, Ricki raises smart questions about why a mother’s musical ambitions are so much more selfish than, say, seven-time dad Mick Jagger’s.
60
The Hollywood Reporter - Sheri Linden
Even with its well-observed moments, the movie’s nonmusical interactions, whether reaching for laughs or poignancy, too often feel flat and forced.
