by Michael Rechtshaffen [The Hollywood Reporter]

“..surprisingly funny, intermittently quite sexy, and simply gorgeous to look at...”
by Scott Weinberg [EFilmCritic]

“..more than just a tasty morsel of eye candy..”
by James Berardinelli [ReelViews]

“..frisky and fascinating biopic..”
by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly]
“..doesn't probe very deeply into Page's bizarre mixture of exhibitionism and piety..”
by David Denby [The New Yorker]

“..affectless, pointless movie..”
by Shlomo Schwartzberg [Boxoffice Magazine]

“..a thesis movie that aims for the mind, but never captures Bettie's soul..”
by Jeremiah Kipp [Slant Magazine]
“..a purely fun picture that neither apologizes nor psychoanalyzes nor points fingers..”
by Donald Levit [ReelTalk]
