- 60New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinNew York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinI like the movie, though. It forced me to rethink the way sexual desire saturates everything, along with extreme vulnerability of children.
- 50The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThis film overstays its welcome and has pacing problems. But its eclectic characters certainly linger.
- 40Village VoiceSerena DonadoniVillage VoiceSerena DonadoniThe biggest problem in Lipsky's scattershot narrative is situational ethics.
- 20Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshLos Angeles TimesKatie WalshMad Women is punishingly dull and apparently aimless, without any real conflict driving the story, just confounding and ridiculous interactions among the characters.
- 12RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyRogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyThe plot of Mad Women is ridiculous, unmotivated and "shocking," but that wouldn't be an issue at all if there had been some attempt at style, or mood, or a point of view.
- It’s a good thing writer-director Jeff Lipsky is a film distributor in real life. He’s his own best hope for getting this dreck out there.
