Movie Reviews

ReelViews - 9/10 by James BerardinelliMrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle is a top-notch movie. Everything is in place -- a striking lead performance, solid supporting players, a well-written script, and, above all, expert direction to merge the ingredients.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael WilmingtonMrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle has its flaws, but it also has a heartfelt grasp of what set Dorothy Parker apart from her fellow revelers and makes her so emblematic a figure even today.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertThe great achievement of Alan Rudolph's Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle is that it allows us to empathize with Dorothy Parker on her long descent.
Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenJennifer Jason Leigh's performance is so incredible that witnessing it is reason enough to take a look at this movie.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 8/10 by Ken HankeOnly Alan Rudolph could make these people dull.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Hal HinsonThe movie is inventive, hilarious and, in its own sneaky way, moving.
Wall Street Journal - 8/10 by Julie SalamonThough many of Parker's well- known wisecracks make their way into the screenplay, Mrs. Parker ultimately does not give us the Dorothy Parker of legend.
Boston Globe - 6/10 by Jay CarrFor a while, the atmosphere seems just right. As Mrs. Parker goes on, it becomes apparent that the one-liners, droll as some of them are, aren't really going to coalesce into characters, scenes, dramatic encounters.
Christian Science Monitor - 6/10 by David SterrittMrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle directed by Alan Rudolph, a wildly uneven filmmaker who's happily at the top of his form in this offbeat drama.
Chicago Reader - 5/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumAlan Rudolph's 1994 feature about writer Dorothy Parker and the famous Algonquin wits she hung out with in the 20s certainly has its pleasures, but someone should tell Rudolph that, for all his skill and charm, period movies aren't really his forte.
