Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Cheung makes her character work, despite a weak plot and script, both by director Assayas.
Maggie Cheung gives an astonishingly complex performance as a junkie rock star trying to clean up her act.
There are so many quiet, understated miracles unfolding in Clean that all you can do is watch in awe and amazement.
It helps -- immensely -- that Cheung is pitch-perfect. Her performance is heartbreaking.
