Variety
Don't expect a pot full of boiling bunnies, because nothing so creatively crazy ever happens in Obsessed, a "Fatal Attraction"-inspired predatory-female domestic thriller that spends much time spinning its wheels and making auds practically beg for an explanation to all the madness and obsession. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
Obsessed has little plausibility, but at moments it's an entertaining bad movie, and the performers are vivid. - 50
L.A. Weekly
Isn't half as dramatic as what probably went down after she (Beyoncé Knowles) kicked LaTavia and LaToya out of Destiny's Child. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Every move is telegraphed well in advance thanks to desultory writing, routine direction and ample musical cues. - 40
Salon
Takes far too long to get cooking, and it works so hard at NOT being exploitation that it loses sight of its reasons for existing in the first place. - 25
TV Guide Magazine
Larter just doesn't have the same bite as the bunny-killing stalkers of years gone by. - 25
The A.V. Club
Doing his best to class up the joint, "The Wire's" Idris Elba stars as the perfect man. - 20
New York Daily News
Unfortunately, the whole movie seems constructed just to get the singer/actress into a knock-down catfight, shoehorning one of show business's sexiest entertainers into a scorned-woman role. And even then, the pay-off feels cheap.
