Critic Reviews
-
David Stratton, Variety
Can't seem to decide if it's supposed to be a comedy about Hollywood small-timers trying to get an indie pic off the ground, or a somber drama in which greed and lust overwhelm art.
-
Stephen Holden, New York Times
"Mistress" abounds with sharp comic performances that never stray into caricature or sentimentality.
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Seeing Mistress is like getting a bad table at the in Hollywood restaurant. You're eavesdropping on all the dull conversations.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The movie has been described as a low-rent version of Robert Altman's "The Player," but it would be more accurate to say it's about low-rent players.
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Although it's never worse than watchable, the story barely expands beyond its own boundaries. It starts off appealingly small -- the way the old Albert Brooks movies used to. But it stays small.
