Flowers in the Attic Ratings & Reviews
Autostraddle
Chelsea Steiner
The voiceover (lifted from the book) is SO heavy handed and clunky it needs a dolly just to move it around.
Refinery29
Kelsey Miller
Still enjoyable, especially when watched with a group of your closest, tipsy-est friends, Flowers In The Attic is not entirely so-bad-it's-good as I would have liked.
People Magazine
Tom Gliatto
Flowers, both the book and the new movie, is completely absurd - if you want to gauge the absurdity, just know that one of the darkest secrets in the narrative involves a doughnut - but somehow also psychologically coherent. It has a grip.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
All four films in this series based on the V.C. Andrews novels are among the dozens of offerings featured in the 2015 holiday gift guide at ReelBob.com.

Jean Bentley
Frankly, the best Lifetime movies straddle that fine line between "totally engaging look at serious issues" and "overacted campy mess" very well, and "FitA" just didn't cut it. It was ... kinda boring, right?
Boston Herald
Mark A. Perigard
The production moves at a brisk pace, and unlike the children's predicament, never feels claustrophobic.
New York Daily News
David Hinckley
V.C. Andrews' popular and creepy 1979 novel Flowers in the Attic gets no favors from the scriptwriters in this latest adaptation.
Common Sense Media
Joyce Slaton
'80s pulp novel gets creepy with evil adults, incest.
Los Angeles Times
Mary McNamara
The problem is not that it's just terrible, but that it's also no fun. At all.
Philadelphia Inquirer
David Hiltbrand
It was adapted into a middling creepy film in 1987. Now Lifetime has remade it as a sharper creepy TV movie.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
I was particularly delighted when the children figured out that their mother was trying to kill them with powdered rat poison sprinkled on donuts, but this should all be a lot more frightening - or at least more unsettling - than it winds up being.
Variety
Brian Lowry
The problem is [it] always sounds like it's more fun, or at least more kooky, than it actually plays onscreen.
TV Guide
Matt Roush
Escape can't come too soon.
Kansas City Star
Sara Smith
Lifetime goes there, then backs away from the issue immediately, making for some scenes that add nothing to the story but brief bouts of nausea.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Matt Zoller Seitz
All the actors are spot-on, even ones who have just a few scenes.
New York Times
Mike Hale
The last thing you want to do is play it straight. Unfortunately, that's the only way Lifetime knows how to play it
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Gail Pennington
The only way to review "Flowers in the Attic" is to consider how well it does what it sets out to do: that is, adapt the book faithfully and still make an entertaining film. For that, it gets a B+.
AV Club
Genevieve Valentine
Though the five-book Dollanganger series eventually descends into straight-faced plot-pretzels (the likes of which will probably show up on The Spoils Of Babylon) much of the Gothic drama in this installment is quaint by cable standards.
Slate
Willa Paskin
Flowers in the Attic acts as if it is just another life-affirming Lifetime movie about surviving terrible situations.
Chicago Sun-Times
Lori Rackl
This tale of a twisted family's misguided quest for love and money is still creepy and atmospheric enough to make for pulpy television fun.
