Comes across as a cinematic, slightly dramatized Cliffs Notes edition a story that's been told often.
Richard Roeper, Richard Roeper.com
Rotten
It's not a bad film, exactly, but it's a jumbled, uncertain one, and it never quite makes a compelling case for itself.
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten
A rather dull docudrama that doesn't have a strong reason to exist, outside of perhaps a financial one.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Rotten
An exhaustively researched - and, quite frankly, very exhausting - adaptation of journalist Mara Leveritt's book.
Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer
