	Media	Author	Review
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"As unimaginative as its title (...) The result is a passably entertaining diversion, glossy and decently acted but devoid of any kind of edge."
		Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"There is so much recycled material in 'Fatal Affair' that its carbon footprint must have been zero"
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"Cheap Netflix thriller plays the same old tune (...) An uninspired 'Fatal Attraction' knock-off wastes a charismatic Nia Long on a script with zero surprises or tension (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Kate Erbland IndieWire	"Amusement and originality is in short supply. A fatal affair? Only if you’re liable to die from boredom."
		Alison Foreman Mashable	"It's horrendously overdone, and yet, I was blissfully fine with it all. I was entertained by and engaged with 'Fatal Affair' just enough that its shortcomings didn't make me frustrated or even all that annoyed."
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"[For some people it would be] safe and calming. To me, it’s just boring and the actors in this film can do so much better (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"[It] is so bad it’s… well, just bad, actually, not even having the decency to become enjoyably ridiculous (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 5)"
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"A time-killing thriller that only works at the bare minimum (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
