Critic Reviews

  • Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

    It's not just Frankie who is putting on a show here. Berry is also overemphatically showing off her chops.

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    This movie, with its flashbacks to past sins and traumas, rests squarely on Berry, a mesmerizer who makes every moment count.

  • Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

    A hokey old-school drama of multiple personality disorder based, in the tradition of The Three Faces of Eve and Sybil, on a real case study.

  • Jeffrey M. Anderson, Common Sense Media

    May look like an attempt to win another Oscar for Berry, and she does give a powerful performance here.

  • Sean Gandert, Paste Magazine

    Other than the A-list actors and high production values, there's little to nothing differentiating the film from any made-for-TV movie on Lifetime.

    With I'm sure the best of intentions (and not a little hope for Oscar's roving eye), Halle Berry stars in (and produces) this big-screen Lifetime movie about a woman afflicted with a fractured personality who meets a kindly doctor who helps her Break Through To Find Herself.… More

    Great performance by Halle Berry in a ho-hum film about a woman with multiple personalities. The film feels more SCRIBBLE than SYBIL as it's kind of patched together by about 100 writers in fairly broad strokes. Not bad, not boring, just fairly standard-issue mental illness… More
