It exists somewhere between serious character study and satirical fish-out-of-water story, never figuring out which it wants to be.
Brian Truitt, USA Today
Rotten
Despite an eccentric streak (which turns erratic), the script doesn't allow much room for the premise to take flight.
Nicolas Rapold, New York Times
Rotten
Hopkins fails to fulfill the potential of her own script.
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Rotten
As an ostensible work of satire, it lacks bite, never truly questioning or complicating its heroine's actions; the film isn't even outrageous enough to be appalling (which paradoxically makes it appalling).
Mike D'Angelo, AV Club
