Rating: D --
Outdated and schematic, this two-character melodrama belongs to the 1970s, when transsexuals were "novel" dramatic persona; even the gifted Philip Seymour Hoffman is defeated by the writing and direction.
Variety
Its weary clichés and flat comic bits are apparently supposed to be fresh and insightful.

There's nothing flawless about this clunker.

What's worse than a film directed by Joel Schumacher? How about a film written and directed by Joel Schumacher?

Film Threat
Rating: 3/5 --
The involvement of several real-life drag queens contributes to both the exhuberence, authenticity, and sheer panache to mark something of a return to form for the idiosyncratic director.

De Niro and Hoffman deliver the goods, but they are lost within a cockamamie, violent subplot that pulls down everything.
Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)
For what it's worth, this could be Schumacher's best film.

Time Out
Description by OLDIES.com:
When the once highly decorated police officer Walter Koontz (Robert De Niro, Casino) suffers a stroke while attempting to aid a neighbor, an unorthodox form of therapy is prescribed to help him overcome a resulting speech impediment. The suggested therapy becomes even more unorthodox when Walter asks his neighbor, Rusty (Philip Seymour Hoffman, Capote), a flamboyant drag queen with musical talent (and the past recipient of Walter's ire) for help. The unlikely arrangement soon mellows into a grudging friendship in writer/director Joel Schumacher's Flawless. Flawless features supporting performances by Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Rent), Barry Miller (Saturday Night Fever, The Last Temptation of Christ) and Chris Bauer (Face/Off, TV's "True Blood").
