Decoding Annie Parker Ratings & Reviews
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Samantha Morton's audacious portrayal of the title character boosts this mildly inspirational but sentimental true-life drama.
Common Sense Media
Sandie Angulo Chen
Powerful if a bit uneven docudrama about cancer, research.
Paste Magazine
Brent Simon
Powered by whiplash tonalities, the film's unwieldy, stacked-deck narrative cycles through a series of tableaux that are largely familiar, frequently phony and sometimes, remarkably, even both at the same time.
Film School Rejects
Christopher Campbell
The movie plays like something that is supposed to represent a person's life and struggle, or multiple women's perhaps, more than engage with it.
Film Journal International
David Noh
What might have been a great, fascinating real-life medical detective story suffers from a serious plot imbalance and one-sided character focus.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
The movie's main point of value is in Morton's performance.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Decoding Annie Parker is a movie about resilience, about staring doom straight in the face - with a smile, with hope.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
An outstanding cast, a likeable narrator, and a thoughtful script take this out of the easy tears of the disease-of-the-week TV movie category.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
This is a film that leaves you with a deep appreciation for the fighters of the world, as well as the individuals who tirelessly work to eradicate a disease we'd all like to see vanish forever.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
This modest indie with major ambitions is directed by veteran cinematographer Steven Bernstein, making a solid feature debut.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Tears are shed in "Decoding Annie Parker," but they aren't accompanied by the kind of sad, misty soundtrack music that can leave you feeling used and abused. Instead of jerking tears, the movie edifies.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
"Decoding Annie Parker," though uneven in its execution, has at its heart two remarkable women and one remarkable performance.
Washington Post
Jen Chaney
It sticks mostly to one track, taking audience members on a journey that, sadly, via the movies or their own lives, they already may know a little too well.
The Dissolve
David Ehrlich
Cutting between the parallel stories, Decoding Annie Parker is exasperatingly slow to evolve into a misbegotten portrait of women helping women.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
The film features a wonderfully nuanced performance from Samantha Morton as Annie.
Village Voice
Chris Klimek
Decoding Annie Parker is a better living-with-disease drama than medical mystery.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
[A] well-intentioned, if ultimately underwhelming, ode to the ongoing fight for a cure.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
A multi-decade drama painted in the broadest strokes possible.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
Hunt and Morton don't appear onscreen together until the end of the movie, which makes this feel like two projects forced to mingle.
Slant Magazine
Jordan Osterer
This isn't a film of bedside conversions or radical emotional transformations, nor is it a story about laughing at one's own hardships as a coping mechanism.
