... willfully odd movie ...

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Rotten

A wet teabag of a movie.

Keith Phipps, AV Club
Rotten

A Good Woman suffers from a staggeringly bad miscasting of its central role and from a cut-and-paste screenplay that substitutes random insertions of Wilde epigrams for character.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Rotten

Something is wrong with A Good Woman: The lightning never strikes. It's never quite alive.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten

Wilde isn't supposed to be lovely, or charming. He's supposed to be funny, wicked, rude and as full of serious feeling as a lavender butterfly.

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
