Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Niccol smartly contrasts the bland, blond beauty of computer-colored Simone ... with the brunet vividness of Keener.

Though at times the satire is over the top, Simone raises some interesting and troubling questions about the future of cinema.

rotten:
An industry satire that's less funny than half-empty and hyper-designed.

Coolly observed, savvy satire.

rotten:
You don't so much admire the movie as feel bludgeoned by its attitudes, however commendable they may be.
