Beneath those puppet-headed antics, and true to its title, Frank is improbably, disarmingly honest.

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
Fresh

With the soulful Gleeson and a sweetly menacing Fassbender (under a giant helmet-head) at its center, the movie never loses its acerbic edge or its oversize heart.

Kyle Anderson, Entertainment Weekly

The whole thing is in danger of becoming arch and quirky, yet Abrahamson steers the final act of his drama toward a sombre, unhappy rumination.

Anthony Lane, New Yorker
Fresh

"Frank" has a wry sense of humor, the ring of authenticity and glimmers of genuine wisdom.

Rafer Guzman, Newsday

There's a perseverance to "Frank" that's also uplifting, a true spirit of unity among the damaged.

Tom Long, Detroit News
