Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000
2/4
It's the kind of pleasant, sometimes funny, fairly entertaining film that you can never quite remember very well, because even the filmmakers themselves haven't seen it very clearly. Go to Full Review

Cookie hasn't much to recommend it apart from Wiest's performance. Go to Full Review
Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) 07/12/2022
An apathetic comedy about the mafia, inferior to similar works. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Cookie has the look and feel of a cartoon. And that, unfortunately, is why it crumbles. Go to Full Review

chris z 08/18/2024 Wow this film so stupidly underrated. It's a comedy- i'm not sure reviewers understood that. It's also sweet and smart. Caught on tcm at tail end of Jerry Lewis day. (Small role but he’s great) But stars abound and great work by all, except maybe the mostly irritating score. Looks great. I love everyone. Dianne Wiest has never been better. Emily Lloyd and Peter Falk are great pair Screenplay is sharp and underwritten beautifully. The stuff about the news coverage of mob is so familiar from growing up in Philly but I can’t remember seeing it in another film. So nice to find a non Woody Allen NYC film from that era that I can feel great about. (I hope I don’t learn something awful about Susan Seidelman now) See more Sascha B 06/05/2024 A delightful little movie. Not high cinema, but extremely entertaining on a Sunday afternoon. See more 05/06/2022 What the **** were they thinking?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 01/03/2020 Considering the high bar Seidelman set with Smithereens and Desperately Seeking Susan, Cookie feels like an unsatisfying step back. While her first two features boasted highly original characters and freshly compelling stories, Cookie merely registers as late 80s fluff.
