Lamentably by-the-numbers, treated like an affliction-of-the-week TV movie by its eight (!) credited writers and directed by Geoffrey Sax as if he knew where commercials should go. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- Berry has proven she's willing to take on enormous challenges, and she certainly exceeds her grasp here. Perhaps that's why Frankie & Alice plays more like an elaborate acting workshop than a movie.

Rating: 2/4 -- While all this channel-switching and inevitable unearthing of psychic demons generates a great awards-season clip, it doesn't necessarily lead to a satisfying drama. Full Review
Washington Post
Apr 3, 2014
Rating: 2/4 -- It may be based on true events, but it seems more truly inspired by the star-producer's desire for an ostentatious showcase to demonstrate that her Best Actress recognition didn't Jinx (ouch) a career notable for such post-Oscar calamities as 'Catwoman.' Full Review

It may be that this genre has been forever ruined, or just that it requires a more subtle hand than the one exhibited by Geoffrey Sax, the director here. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- Modestly engaging, the film is more suited to cable TV and Netflix. Full Review

... provides Berry with a diva showcase for plenty of over-the-top emotional outbursts and violent tantrums. Full Review
