Reviews

L.A. Weekly -
This is a very funny film about a creepy, excruciatingly lonely world.
|
|
The New York Times -
An obscene, misanthropic go-for-broke satire, Pretty Persuasion is so gleefully nasty that the fact that it was even made and released is astonishing. Much of it is also extremely funny.
|
|
Los Angeles Times -
It's too bad that the satire is not more pointed, because Pretty Persuasion is outrageously funny in short blasts, mainly thanks to James Woods at his most gleefully depraved.
|
|
The A.V. Club -
In a star-making performance, Evan Rachel Wood stars as essentially a younger version of Nicole Kidman's media-age femme fatale from "To Die For," an aspiring 15-year-old actress who hides a sharp, calculating mind behind a façade of vapid, chattering self-absorption.

|
Film Threat -
Kills itself with unrestrained negativism, but almost resuscitates itself with some great comedy.
