Rating: 3/5 -- Ross and director Sidney J. Furie seem to feel that the slower the song, the more serious the mood, so at times the film seems to be grinding almost to a halt Full Review

Rating: 2.5/5 -- How is it possible for a movie that is otherwise so dreadful to contain such a singularly attractive performance in the title role?

Ross conveys the vulnerability and determination of her character across a very believable arc of maturation.

For all the liberties the film takes with the facts of Holiday's life, the bottomless hurt in Ross' voice as she channels Holiday's tartly tragic spirit rings true. Full Review

Clearly, it's an affront to Holiday's art, but just as clearly, it's a good piece of low entertainment. Full Review
