Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly Taylor and Burton deserved better, and Lohan should have shed her protective shell and made an effort to try and understand a psyche other than her own. Nov 26, 2012 Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Bowler and Lohan never approach the kind of magnetism that a movie about Burton and Taylor must conjure in order to be convincing. Nov 26, 2012 Full Review Nathan Rabin AV Club It feels throughout like those behind it made a deliberately campy, dumb, over-the-top and wildly unconvincing film to satisfy the whims of an audience eager to laugh at, rather than with, it. Rated: F Nov 26, 2012 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: D+ Mar 25, 2013 Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Campy and overwrought, Liz & Dick is not great art, but it's great fun.

Audience Member "?????? ????, ? ??? ??? ????. ??????? ?????? ???????, ???? ??? ??? ???????? ?? ?????". Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Was anyone even trying on this feature? So, so, so bad. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Horrible storytelling....acting....just...horrible. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member The first thing that everyone goes to, in lambasting this film, is the performance from vacant eyed starlet Lindsay Lohan as Liz Taylor. I would say that this film actually suffers most from compacting forty odd years into a 90 minute film without any exposition. Most of the film's events happen without clarification to when in time they occur, why they're important, or who the surrounding characters are. I would say that most of the people in this film can be identified by those who know the many loves of Elizabeth Taylor, but for anyone coming in blind, none of this film will make much sense. Characters, places, costume changes, are all thrown at you without explanation. There's a time jump of some ten years that's not explained, and then the film just ends. Lohan isn't the perfect Elizabeth Taylor, but then again Lifetime isn't the best venue for this film, in the first place. Lohan has problems with her accent work, but besides that she seems to be really trying throughout. She and Grant Bowler (Burton) have monologues, (possibly from heaven) and there's one in particular where Lohan shows real emotion and bravado in her acting that I haven't seen from her in some time. That scene gave me hope for Lohan's future endeavors, and showed that beneath the bleary eyed stare she still cares about her work. Bowler also gives his all, even with the corny poetry and his weirdly perverted take on seduction. If you like watching train wrecks, this may be the film for you. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Lohan's performance is terrible but she sure looks like Elizabeth Taylor. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought it was entertaining. The guy that plays Burton was great, looked and sounded just like him. Lindsay was not good, her acting is bad, she didn't even try to use the Liz voice and she didn't look like her. They needed to hire one of those makeup artists that transform people to look like stars, Plus when she was supposedly fat they didn't even bulk up her clothes.
