| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfA feature so eager for statues it practically provides a pen and a reading light to help with any potential award ballot situation that might arise after watching it. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThough inspired by a true case, this formulaic mental disorder melodrama is so poorly conceived and executed that even Halle Berry's decent (but no more) performance cannot rescue from failure |
| New York PostFarran Smith NehmeHalle Berry’s latest vehicle is old-fashioned as a leisure suit, but better-looking and a lot more fun. |
| MovielineMichelle OrangeFrankie's struggle strays close to camp during her first transition; by the climax, which finds her cycling through personalities so quickly one fears for an emotive sprain, the story is secondary to the spectacle of Berry writhing with Oscar fever. |
