	Author	Review
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	""hough the results are at times messy (...) Dellal’s likably chaotic direction and a bevy of solid performances make sure the film’s beating heart outweighs most of its contrivances"	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"The irony (...) is that Ray's story is trapped inside what in the old days might have been called a 'women's picture.' It's involving but seldom deeply affecting"	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"It's frustrating how uneven and cutesy the movie ends up being."	NEG
United States	Kevin Jagernauth IndieWire	"It misses the opportunity to jump from informational to insightful."	NEU
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"While it's hard to hate, it's even harder to like. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Susan Wloszczyna rogerebert.com	"After her character’s trans cred is fully established, Fanning is pushed into the background and 'About Ray' starts to feel like a bad Neil Simon comedy"	NEG
