"Christian Bale once again disappears into a role with long hair and a comical albeit accurate German accent in the role of Frank Fabian. It also doesn't hurt that director Craig Brewer knows his way around a film like this." - Mark Gilbert, Boston Globe
"The plot is fairly by-the-numbers, but it gives Bale a fun role to sink his teeth into and surrounds him by quirky characters all involved in the absurd true story." - Lisa Winger, Newsday
"While Bale always commits to his roles, I feel like we never really get to what makes Frank Farian tick in this one. The film is still well-made and well-performed, but I was honestly hoping for something with a little more bite to it." - Brian Edelstein, Time Out
