Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
An often silly and oddly tepid biopic from director Bruce Beresford.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Rotten
As Sarah Wynter plays Alma, it's difficult to see what all the hue and cry was about.
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten
Watching it is like walking, walking, walking down a never-ending aisle.
Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News
Rotten
The filmmakers' limited notions of genius, simple humanity and, probably, feminism seem to have defeated everyone involved.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
