- Critics' reviews
-
-
"'Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle' is a top-notch movie. Everything is in place -- a striking lead performance, solid supporting players, a well-written script, and, above all, expert direction to merge the ingredients"
-
"The film wants to make a case for Parker as the first modern woman. It gets the look and the attitude right, but it can't find her heart"
-
"The movie is as smooth and deadening as a quart of old whiskey, and every bit as depressing as it was meant"
-
"Much like Parker’s career, the film begins with scintillating flashes of what might have been, but slowly deteriorates into waspish repetition"
