Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Just when the story beats start to feel unbearably obvious, the film changes keys, becoming less family dramedy than a concert film.

rotten:
The film, which Diablo Cody wrote and Jonathan Demme directed, is a work of bulk-size bogusness. Barely a single scene is convincing.

rotten:
Despite Streep's best efforts, Ricki seems more of a contrivance than a flesh-and-blood character.

fresh:
Streep's latest mom role, as Ricki Rendazzo in Ricki and the Flash, has a light, Mamma Mia! vibe, but it still hits all those hot buttons.

fresh:
The movie is mature in the way it handles the regrets of absentee parents and the ways in which their children relate to them. There's a little Hollywood artifice here but not so much that the emotions feel inauthentic.
