Critics Consensus

Beatriz at Dinner offers timely social commentary enlivened by powerful, layered performances from Salma Hayek and John Lithgow.

David Stratton

The Australian

There are fine performances from the ensemble, with [Salma] Hayek's feisty outsider and [John] Lithgow's smug, self-satisfied tycoon making the most satisfying contributions.

Rated: 3.5/5

I can't quite say I enjoyed it, but I'm not going to forget it that easily, either.

Hayek gives one of her better performances, though - she makes it clear that Beatriz may be righteous, but she's also more than a bit unhinged - and Lithgow is so good at playing CEO oiliness that you have to smile. He's the man you love to hate.

What a lazy, half-hearted, uninspired copout of an ending.

The ending leaves a lot to be desired but Hayek's low key performance is great.

As subtle as a sledgehammer and just as much fun to be around. I don't think my family will ever forgive me for choosing this one.

FIRST: This is NOT, repeat NOT a gosh darn comedy. DirecTV and some internet listings have it as a Comedy, as if a movie about woman who tries to heal others giving up on the world and committing suicide rather than dealing with the cancers (of cells and of awful human beings) can be called a comedy. It's a well made made well acted DRAMA, and suitable if you want to open a discussion about greed, human failings, and the trouble with being an empathetic beings living in this reality.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Overrated, cliched social commentary that seems too long even with a running time of 82 minutes.
