Critic Reviews of "The Act - Season 1"
RogerEbert.comMarch 19, 2019A reminder that even when you think you know a great deal about true story, there can be value in retelling it.
Vanity FairMarch 20, 2019Arquette's performance is one for the mother-as-monster chronicles.
UproxxMarch 19, 2019The series is so cleverly layered and edited that there are a few moments when one could be tempted to feel sorry for this terrible mother.
AwardsCircuit.comMarch 19, 2019The show captures the level of fascination that was present in the Buzzfeed article... It serves as a great piece of additional insight into the events that transpired.
AARP Movies for GrownupsMarch 18, 2019It's as weird as any David Lynch drama, only true, and Arquette disappears into her role with absolute conviction.
CNN.comMarch 20, 2019The Act remains oddly fascinating, perhaps especially so as the strange, sad relationship between the needy Gypsy and disturbed Nick (Calum Worthy) develops.
Rolling StoneMarch 20, 2019The scripts by Dean and Antosca and the performances by the two leads do a fine job exploring the murky power dynamic between mother and child... Both actors are terrific, but King is more likely the one people will be talking about after.
New York Magazine/VultureMarch 20, 2019In large part, the success of The Act so far comes down to one person: Joey King.
GuardianMarch 19, 2019I don't know quite how to feel about The Act, about the discomfort of seeing childhood abuse dressed up on screen, even if I know it's not for gawking, even if I recognize the pull the Blanchard story has on me anyway. Perhaps that is the point.
Hollywood ReporterMarch 19, 2019Even with some lags in pacing, each time I thought the story was running out of juice, it found a different gear and a different genre, all anchored by King and Arquette.
