In Mary Harron's film biography of the nude and naughty pin-up girl, Notorious is synonymous with 'joyless.'
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Fresh
With her blue-black hair, Mol looks so much like Page that this could be a documentary, and her swings between modesty and exhibitionism are amazingly fluid.
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture
Fresh
... the movie's worth a look simply for Mol's career-boosting performance.
Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

We can't always be sure what's archival and what's simulated because sometimes the filmmakers are trying to fool us. But their preoccupation with the manufacture of images keeps this exercise in exposure and concealment interesting.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
