[Randle] holds the film together as best she can with her luminous presence and dignity, but can't supply the lacking subtext, past history and motivation.

Todd McCarthy, Variety
Rotten

Lee's never been too hip to women's perspectives, and in Girl 6, he proves that marriage, maturity and 10 years of filmmaking haven't substantially corrected his blind spot.

Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten

Lee has done the impossible: He's sucked the fun out of call-in sex and replaced it with sanctimonious prattle.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten

While Lee is a skillful director, he's also more coldly analytical than emotional, and it is not his style to get us to feel for this woman as much as we should.

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

Lee draws his lines between fantasy and reality without much confidence and with only a sketchy logic.

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
