Reviews
|
ReelViews -
It may work for those in search of a good cry but as a story of a damaged woman to touch the soul, it misses the mark.
|
|
Observer -
Has brief moments of levity and charm, but mostly it's depressing.
|
|
Time Out -
The problem, however, lies squarely with Portman herself, who (Oscar nod or no) seems unlikely to ever achieve a tone between histrionic and affectless.

|
The A.V. Club -
The book may have been too unwieldy for Roos to wrangle. There's a lot of story (and backstory) here, which Roos tries to squeeze in every which way.

|
Entertainment Weekly -
Opportunities for bad behavior abound in Waldman's novel - the author's prerogative. Roos, though, hasn't cracked the puzzle of how to explore that behavior on screen in such a way that the characters behave badly in interesting, rather than arbitrary, ways.
