Critic Reviews of "Lay the Favorite"
New York PostDecember 07, 2012Frears has a lot of fun with the bad tempers and high spirits of this crew of adrenaline junkies, and though the story falls a little flat, the script is sprinkled with dry wit.
San Francisco ChronicleDecember 07, 2012"Lay the Favorite" is a small and not particularly ambitious movie, but it's pleasing and exceptionally well made.
New York TimesDecember 06, 2012Best to say as little as possible, cut one's losses and move on.
Seattle TimesDecember 06, 2012The dots are there, but they don't connect.
Yahoo! MoviesMarch 13, 2013While everything seems to be going in its favor, Lay The Favorite is a losing bet.
Times-PicayuneMarch 08, 2013A shrug of a film featuring unremarkable characters in an unremarkable story that never does more than limp toward it flat and flimsy third act.
Cinemalogue.comDecember 10, 2012... offers little insight into its subject or its setting and feels like it's been chopped up in the editing room.
Paste MagazineDecember 07, 2012Poor Rebecca Hall. If someone had told her there was no hope for Lay the Favorite, she could have saved some energy.
Film Journal InternationalDecember 07, 2012This shaggy-dog story based on the improbable real-life adventures of exotic dancer-turned-bookie-turned-journalist Beth Raymer is never quite as amusing as it thinks it is, despite a charming performance by Rebecca Hall.
Examiner.comDecember 06, 2012What little plot "Lay the Favorite" has is lost in a mess of a screenplay that does absolutely nothing to stand out in any way whatsoever.
