Simone

...underhållande – om än inte helt trovärdigt...

Pacino is alive with furies and fears, and the supporting cast, especially Catherine Keener, are lively and raring to make fun of the business that feeds them.

He’s brilliantly served by Pacino, who revels in the chance to play physical comedy. It’s a wonderfully sustained performance...

The more audiences admire her, the less he can reveal she is entirely his work. The movie sets this dilemma within a cynical comedy about modern Hollywood; it's fitfully funny...

What's surprising about Simone is just how funny it is.
