Dorothy Parker remembers the heyday of the Algonquin Round Table, a circle of friends whose barbed wit, like hers, was fueled by alcohol and flirted with despair.

Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Janet Maslin
"Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle" has its flaws, but it also has a heartfelt grasp of what set Dorothy Parker apart from her fellow revelers and makes her so emblematic a figure even today.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Leigh's performance, at the center of almost every scene, shows us a woman in a world of men, who wore it as a badge of honor that she could outdrink and outtalk them.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Rudolph's effort to dramatize the life of the acerbic writer is dissatisfying due to shallow script that offers only a sketchy look, and Jennfer Jason Leigh's stiff rendition further hampered by arch accent; it's all black-and-white style and no drama.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Only Alan Rudolph could make these people dull.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
What a wonderful, detailed portrait. And what an evocation of a time and a mood. "Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle'' is truly one of those films that inhabits its own world.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Rudolph films with a bittersweet blend of epigrammatic flamboyance and tautly constraining elegance, a flowing visual style that captures the fun-loving, self-destructive strivings of great creators...
Variety
Todd McCarthy
A highly absorbing but naggingly patchy look at the acerbic writer Dorothy Parker and her cohorts at the legendary Algonquin Round Table.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
The Dorothy Parker that Leigh and Rudolph present isn't one-dimensional. In addition to being savagely funny, she is also capable of great elegance and genuine insight.

Scott Weinberg
A great ensemble helps to cut through a fairly stuffy narrative.
