[Jessica Lange] brings her skills to The Great Lillian Hall in a performance that deserves another Oscar nomination. Go to Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald Jun 5
4/5
...Jessica Lange has become more febrile and actressy as she’s grown older, making her perfect for the role of Lillian Hall. Go to Full Review Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune 06/11/2024

3.5/5
The Great Lillian Hall has got some terrific moments and performances. But it is a lesser, and less honest, film than it is pretending to be. Go to Full Review Andiee Paviour Nobody's Reading This But Me Jun 5
3/5
