Reviews


50
The Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy
A certain integrity and seriousness of intent gleams through, but Nina is just too big a subject, and talent, to be compressed into such a small package.

Entertainment Weekly - Unnamed
Saldana (Avatar, Guardians of the Galaxy) is an accomplished and bankable actress, but she doesn’t look much like Simone. That has led to several complaints, including from the Simone estate.
40
Variety - Andrew Barker
Even when not fighting with her makeup, Saldana’s Simone rarely feels fully formed.
40
Village Voice - Alan Scherstuhl
The filmmakers have denied us their subject's voice and then sunk their lead by adding distancing layers between the audience and her chief instrument, her face. Even the script exhibits little confidence in this Nina's ability to communicate to us what matters.
33
The A.V. Club - Mike D'Angelo
Nina has been so thoroughly misconceived, on virtually every level, that the only less interesting portrait imaginable would be one that takes place entirely when Nina Simone was in utero.
