Movie Reviews

New York Times - 8/10 by Stephen HoldenMs. Barkin is almost unrecognizable as this bedraggled bundle of rage and disappointment. Exploding from deep within, her devastating performance hijacks the film.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Gary GoldsteinSalomé and co-writer Natalie Carter offer some explanatory psychology, but the complexities remain underdeveloped. Still, you won't be bored.
Seattle Times - 5/10 by Moira MacDonaldThough there's plenty of skill on display here, "The Chameleon" is one of those films that feels out of whack, as if it focuses too much energy on the wrong story, leaving a more interesting one in the background.
Time Out - 4/10 by Nick SchagerCharacterized by a consistent scarcity of both drama and suspense.
User Review - 10/10 by Dan GThis was a suspenseful, thrilling, dramatic and very emotional movie. One of the best "not popular" movies I've seen in quite awhile. What an AMAZING but unpredictable ending. I would HIGHLY recommend it.

User Review - 8/10 by Agostina EI'm not gonna say this movies is perfect. In fact it's even quite clumsy at times, but the director and the cast still manage to create the appropriate atmosphere for the audience to feel for the characters (especially for the Mom) and remain hooked despite a quite predictable outcome.

User Review - 6/10 by Paul CIntriguing true story - but it appreciation of the film is greatly enhanced by reading up on the real case before / during viewing. Otherwise, viewers may be dissatisfied by the ending.
