Frankie Reviews
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
It's a little too late but it's also surpassingly lovely: an aching frame around the human muddle before we go home for good.
Washington Post
Mark Lieberman
[T]hanks to a superb cast and a welcome strain of comedic energy, "Frankie" turns out to be more than a pretty travelogue with melodrama.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
"Frankie" never takes a risk, never explores the characters' problems in any meaningful way; it feels all surface.
Arizona Republic
Garrett Mitchell
[The] performances feel lived in, like they're actually friends meeting up for the fist time in years.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Alas, as whole, Frankie plays like one of Woody Allen's lesser, European-set films...
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
The ensemble cast is uniformly first-rate, but Sachs' moribund movie is a slog.
TheWrap
Ben Croll
Taking a role designed to collapse the divide between performer and character as opportunity to uncover new levels on naturalism, Huppert offers another beautifully modulated turn in a part that is primarily reactive.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
It's essentially a-walk and-talk... They walk and they talk, everybody looks lovely, and the cheese even looks like it tastes good.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Amy Nicholson
I feel like we've all seen this film [before], but they're all kind of enjoyable, like having a nice glass of rosé on a beautiful day.
New Yorker
Richard Brody
[Sachs's] insistent pictorial sensibility reveals its purpose and its power in a crescendo of visionary wonder, in a matched pair of concluding sequences.
The Atlantic
David Sims
A lovely if muted experience, in which moments of silence and tranquility communicate as much as the naturalistic dialogue.
NPR
Ella Taylor
Sachs builds a physical world so relentlessly clean, classy, and gorgeous it teeters on the edge of travelogue. But he fails to people it with characters we could care much for or about, so busy are they shilling for banal observations on life.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
[A] film that whisks us away, showcases such a talented and eclectic array of performers, and reconfirms a singular filmmaker's affecting artistry.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Alison Willmore
Frankie, for all of its refusal to give into any kind of traditional narrative satisfaction, is rife with terrific little moments.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
The plot of "Frankie," like so many of the characters, meanders, aimlessly at times, but like an expensive vacation, it's utterly lovely to experience and surprising when it's over.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
ability to turn even the sappiest of scenarios into a nuanced tour de force.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
Sachs doesn't supply the neurotic wit that would make Frankie distinctive rather than just... nice.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
A cast of excellent actors stand around looking tentative, delivering stilted lines in scenery whose beauty is perhaps meant to take up the expressive slack.
RogerEbert.com
Tomris Laffly
What a thorough pleasure to be in the company of Frankie, a film that feels like a sumptuous beach read on a lazy sunny afternoon.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
The whole thing struck me as pleasant, nicely judged, and unremarkable, right up to a final shot so graceful and moving that it sent waves of poignancy backwards through the movie.
