Critic Reviews

  • Tom Keogh, Seattle Times

    The heart of Hogan's film is in the right place, and Collette is masterful as an agent of anarchy.

  • Lou Lumenick, New York Post

    The scenery Down Under looks great and you certainly can't write off a film where Liev Schreiber plays a shark hunter.

  • Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

    Writer-director P.J. Hogan may have based "Mental" on an actual incident from his childhood, but the crazy quilt of a movie that resulted feels anything but real.

  • Stephen Holden, New York Times

    "Mental" wildly overplays the kookiness and quirk.

  • Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic

    A lot of times, you simply want the jabbering characters to shut up.
