The Hollywood Reporter
The result is a passably entertaining diversion, glossy and decently acted but devoid of any kind of edge. - 50
RogerEbert.com
Their game of cat-and-mouse is not meant to be original in the slightest, but there's no good reason for it to be this dull. - 50
San Francisco Chronicle
In any case, Fatal Affair is one of those lucky efforts in which everything good about it is good and everything bad about it is fun. The cheesiness is part of the experience. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
To call this a Netflix Original movie is only half-correct. True, it’s on Netflix, but no, there’s nothing original about this uninspired knockoff of “Fatal Attraction” (even the title and the poster borrow from that 1987 classic of the genre), which is marred by stilted dialogue, predictable plot turns and surprisingly halfhearted performances from a talented cast that acts as if they know this is slick garbage and they’re just trying to make it through the shoot so they can call their respective agents and say, “We need to talk.” - 50
Variety
Ultimately, this movie isn’t “Us,” or any other shrewd riff on contemporary culture. You won’t make a fatal — or even near-fatal — error if you stream it. Sometimes a second-rate thriller is just a second-rate thriller. - 42
IndieWire
Too chaste to be a “Fatal Attraction” ripoff and far too dull to approach the hammy charms of “Obsessed,” the greatest assets of Peter Sullivan’s Fatal Affair are stars Nia Long and Omar Epps. They keep this from looking and feeling like a limp Lifetime movie knockoff. - 38
Chicago Tribune
Everything happens quickly in Fatal Affair, since it’s all plot and no character. These movies are what they are: disposable; full of shiny, unstained, high-end kitchen countertops. - 38
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Fatal Affair will live up to the first half of its name, and you’ll be bored to death.
