Rotten
Outdated and schematic, this two-character melodrama belongs to the 1970s, when transsexuals were "novel" dramatic persona; even the gifted Philip Seymour Hoffman is defeated by the writing and direction.

Its weary cliches and flat comic bits are apparently supposed to be fresh and insightful.
Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

You need a pair of huge, hairy ones to make a picture this bad and call it "Flawless."
Charles Taylor, Salon.com

"Flawless" is contrived and overly schematic, but De Niro and Hoffman are such good actors that it never slips into pat sentiment.
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
So awful it just might put an end to Hollywood's hypocritical infatuation with men in drag as symbols of its own supposedly liberated sexual attitudes.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
