Leave your thoughts about Flawless.
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohSchumacher sets gay screen images back about three decades with this noisy inanity. |
| VarietyEmanuel LevyOutdated and schematic, this two-character melodrama belongs to the 1970s, when transsexuals were "novel" dramatic persona; even the gifted Philip Seymour Hoffman is defeated by the writing and direction. |
| Matinee MagazineChuck RudolphProves that neither a respected great like Robert De Niro or an up-and-comer like Philip Seymour Hoffman can save a film as foolish and misguided as this one. |
| San Francisco ExaminerWesley MorrisSeedy, grimy and unsightly as hell, even as it aspires to find the inner diva in us all, "Flawless" is what happens when a filmmaker has no sense of naturalism, no sense of realism and no real natural sense. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIt says a lot for Joel Schumacher's Flawless that you can see the picture's high-concept heart a mile away and still be won over by it. |
| Apollo GuideDiane SelkirkWhile De Niro shows his usual skill, he takes a back seat to Phillip Seymour Hoffman, who presents a stunning performance. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThere's nothing flawless about this clunker. |

| Salon.comCharles TaylorYou need a pair of huge, hairy ones to make a picture this bad and call it "Flawless." |
| SPLICEDWireRob Blackwelder"Flawless" could have been a quality character piece if only writer-director Schumacher had written deeper characters or exercised even a modicum of self-restraint. |
