S1m0ne Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Bill Stamets
Simone joins numerous other movies in satirizing the dream factory, but it dares not tell us suckers how we fit into the big picture.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
It goes on a little long, but isn't terrible.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
In the movie, fictional director Viktor Taransky has a CGI actress that he bills as flesh and blood; in real life, director Andrew Nichol has a flesh-and-blood actress that he bills as CGI.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Niccol smartly contrasts the bland, blond beauty of computer-colored Simone ... with the brunet vividness of Keener.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Though at times the satire is over the top, Simone raises some interesting and troubling questions about the future of cinema.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
An industry satire that's less funny than half-empty and hyper-designed.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
The film targets the new star system, the media, the studios, digital technology, and pretty much everything else you might care to think of -- and not enough script to back it all up.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Coolly observed, savvy satire.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
You don't so much admire the movie as feel bludgeoned by its attitudes, however commendable they may be.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
A witty and sharply written Hollywood satire that is entertaining, if a bit directionless.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
While Simone has its strengths, perhaps we should have waited for version 2.0.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Uses a premise involving fantasy computer technology as a jumping- off point to say some pertinent things about longing and idolatry in the modern age.
Newsday
John Anderson
Pacino is the best he's been in years and Keener is marvelous.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
The film isn't much, but Pacino's nimble actor's mind, the way it animates his haggard face and puts his voice and body at the character's service, is something no computer can touch.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
It not only has a star created by a computer, it has a script that could have been created in one as well.
CNN.com
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)
Simone is not a bad film. It just doesn't have anything really interesting to say.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It's fitfully funny but never really takes off.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
A ragbag of promising ideas and failed narrative, of good acting and plain old bad filmmaking.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
Despite Pacino's formidable skills, it's not very interesting to watch him tap at a keyboard and mumble.
