Entertainment Reviews:
The film was 'inspired' by Shana Alexander's book, but the tone comes straight out of the tabloids. This tone lies somewhere south of smugness but north of pure derision.
Hollywood Reporter
Another shrill, irritating performance from Annette Bening.
Planet S Magazine
Rating: 2/4 --
The story is interesting, the characters are interesting, and while never boring, the picture never greatly impresses nor has much in the way of insight.

Hollywood Report Card
Playwright Phyllis Nagy's film directorial bow is an uneven affair.
Variety
Rating: 3/5 --
It might not be up to the level of, say, Reversal of Fortune, but it's also far above your typical movie-of-the-week network filler.

What [director Phyllis Nagy] has done is tailor this tabloid material to several different narrative tastes, which alternate as the movie shifts from love affair to temper tantrum to gunfire to murder trial and back again...

Description by OLDIES.com:
The sensationalistic murder of diet guru Dr. Herman Tarnower is explored in this decidedly low-key take on the tabloid cover story. As the inventor of the popular "Scarsdale Diet" Dr. Herman Tarnower (Ben Kingsley) became an overnight success during the peak of the early 1980s diet craze. Despite the popularity of the Dr. Tarnower's revolutionary "lose one pound per day" diet, the womanizing ways of the Casanova cardiologist would soon come to a brutal end at the hands of his jealous, prescription drug-addicted lover Jean Harris (Annette Bening). Driven to despair after their fourteen-year romance failed to result in marriage and enraged by Dr. Tarnower's shameless status as a ladies man, Harris confronts her former lover in one violent, final act of desperation.
