Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Seyfried, with her huge features crowding her small face, looks like Alice in a very strange Wonderland. But whatever possibilities she may have as an actress are eradicated by the filmmakers ...

fresh:
Linda's feelings are rarely revealed: that's left to the gloomy final act, which feels more like a guilt-inducing postscript than a genuine reveal.

rotten:
"Lovelace" becomes too distracted by industry politics and the cultural context of the film's release to provide more than a snapshot of her life either before or after she stepped in front of a camera.

rotten:
Lovelace bids to whip up hot indignation about an outrage four decades old. Instead, it provokes dismay.

rotten:
Unfortunately, most of Lovelace is more generic and familiar, right down to the too-neat happy ending.
