Rating: 2/5 --
On paper, the role couldn't feel better suited to Stewart: alas, the film isn't sturdy enough to support it.

Daily Telegraph (UK)
Rating: 3/5 --
Dern brings a hungry, manic energy to Albert... while Stewart's performance is typically interiorised and exacting.

Observer (UK)
Anchored by its two excellent leads, the movie is sympathetic and, for the most part, unsentimental.
New York Times
Although JT himself never lived, that doesn't mean he wasn't real, and this compelling film explores that delightfully while handing Stewart yet another standout performance.

Flickering Myth
It is largely to the credit of Dern’s excellent, richly textured performance that Albert doesn’t come off as a monster, though there’s no question Knoop paints her in a less sympathetic light than the documentary did.

Rating: 3/5 --
The film is at its strongest when it's exploring the nature of manipulation and who, exactly, is manipulating whom.

Rating: 2/5 --
It's a very forthright performance from Dern, but Stewart is simply too opaque and subdued in the role of Knoop.
