Critic Reviews of "Cake"
Chicago ReaderFebruary 02, 2015Whether or not Aniston ever gets another role like this one, I have a hard time imagining anyone else in it -- and that's the sign of a genuine actor.
New YorkerFebruary 02, 2015The slack and purposeless direction leaves the entire cast emoting in a void.
Denver PostJanuary 23, 2015Jennifer Aniston burrows into Claire's walking-wounded gait and eclipsed mood.
TheWrapJanuary 23, 2015"A thoughtful and frequently moving drama that insightfully illuminates what it's like to live with illness and agony."
Film Comment MagazineFebruary 15, 2017It will be a pity if viewers are too put off by the subject to see Aniston's bravura turn, a tour de force that also tells us something about what we can and can't accept in women's performances, our threshold for unlikability and unprettiness.
Epoch TimesJune 11, 2016Think 'Nurse Jackie' reincarnated as a lawyer. The blatant Oscar-bid timing reduces the effectiveness of Aniston's performance rather a lot. It manufactures high expectations.
Film Ireland MagazineMay 12, 2016Despite a formidable and kaleidoscopic performance, there is a sense that the themes of human frailty and the will to heal that inform the film's narrative are beyond Aniston's abilities as a serious dramatic actress.
SF WeeklyDecember 31, 2015In Cake, [Aniston]'s stiff, suffering, and suicidal, your mostly unwelcoming hostess for an extended pity party of personal tragedy.
NY1-TVDecember 22, 2015Writer Patrick Tobin and director Daniel Barnz have a made a movie that, despite the clichéd template, manages to hold your interest. The main reason for that are the fine performances, mainly by Aniston who pilots this thing.
NOW TorontoDecember 18, 2015Aniston isn't the only one doing good work... It's a shame the script lets them down in the end, too.
