Even with a Mamet screenplay and actors like Mr. Pacino and Ms. Mirren there is not much anyone can do to make the audience care.

New York Times
Rating: B+ --
Pacino seldom fails to cut straight to the soul of a character who is both brilliant and pathetic.

The Patriot Ledger
It's better than most films of its kind, even as it remains unsatisfying as historical re-creation, philosophical meditation or pure drama.

Los Angeles Times
Pacino and Mirren's teamwork keeps Phil Spector watchable even when it's dousing itself in dramatic ethanol and lighting a match.

New York Magazine/Vulture
The film is an engrossing drama, with a dazzling performance by Al Pacino in the title role.

Media Life
It's an insidious whitewash of a convicted killer and an infamous smear of his victim. It's a shame on all involved.
Miami Herald
As we're treated to another nonsensical, repetitive soliloquy about the victimization of a violent millionaire, it's worth noting that the Wall of Sound required an echo chamber.
