New York Post
Halle Berry’s latest vehicle is old-fashioned as a leisure suit, but better-looking and a lot more fun. - 63
Rolling Stone
This movie, with its flashbacks to past sins and traumas, rests squarely on Berry, a mesmerizer who makes every moment count. - 60
Village Voice
It's occasionally imaginative, and, most importantly, never boring. - 58
Christian Science Monitor
It’s not just Frankie who is putting on a show here. Berry is also overemphatically showing off her chops. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
It's just a matter of time, flashbacks, many costume and accent changes, some more jazz, and a triggering tune on the radio before the truth can set Frankie, and the audience, free. - 50
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
A soapy period piece that hits all the usual mileposts in filmed versions of such stories. - 40
New York Daily News
It’s all too much. Frankie & Alice has multiple problems it can’t get past. - 40
Los Angeles Times
Berry's florid physicality has a certain silent-melodrama pull. The film around her, however, is lamentably by-the-numbers.
