The Hollywood Reporter
Overall, "Moonlight" is a nuttily engaging tale of betrayal and, perhaps, redemption.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
It's a pleasure to watch Ryan resurrect her trademark persona, a mix of perkiness and pique, as she flounces around the room. But it's shaded with a middle-age desperation that's half real and half chick-flick shtick.

Entertainment Weekly
There's a lot of yelling, cracking wise, and cooing in this creepy rom-com.

Variety
A less-than-frothy domestic showdown starring Meg Ryan and Timothy Hutton, it owes as much to Edward Albee as to Nora Ephron, with an occasional nod to "A Clockwork Orange."

Village Voice
Serious Moonlight has a backstory much more intriguingly dramatic than what's onscreen.

Time Out
Has neither enough bite nor enough heart to sustain it as a female-revenge-fantasy-cum-romantic-comedy; even its “shocking” switcheroo and faux-edgy moments seem remarkably frivolous and flavorless.

The A.V. Club
The bitter comedy Serious Moonlight is meant to be both funny and painful, but manages only the latter.

The New York Times
A very shallow comedy. For the real thing, rent “The Ref,” in which Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis, with a boost from Glynis Johns, set the house on fire.
