	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A rank cheeseball thriller. (...) Obsessed doesn't move at all. It lays there like undigested latkes. (...) Silly and shockingly unsexy"
		Stephen Holden The New York Times	"A clanking, low-rent imitation of “Fatal Attraction” that lacks the imagination to come up with such a novelty."
		John Anderson Variety	"Don't expect a pot full of boiling bunnies, because nothing so creatively crazy ever happens in Obsessed, a "Fatal Attraction"-inspired predatory-female domestic thriller that spends much time spinning its wheels"
		Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter	"[The scenes] feel like line readings rather than actors engaged with their characters and a story"
		Cliff Doerksen Chicago Reader	"This biracial entry in the psycho-bitch stalker sweepstakes is inept and stupid but not without its base pleasures."
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"It isn’t long before 'Obsessed's hand-wringing tone acquiesces to the material’s sleazy absurdity, eliciting more laughs than drama."
