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.
