United States	Teo Bugbee The New York Times	"It’s a period movie with little style and a family flick wholly lacking in charm or warmth."	NEG
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"It’s the kind of low budget, low stakes, low energy piffle that tends to be born directly into the burial plot that Netflix has reserved for it."	NEG
United States	Carlos Aguilar Los Angeles Times	"Even if slightly overwrought, the storyline functions as an amusing dual coming-of-ager"	POS
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"Laughs are few and far between in this weak comedy (...) There is something ineffably creepy about this contrived and mirthless farce"	NEG
United States	Sheila O'Malley rogerebert.com	"When 'Being Frank' goes squishy and sentimental, it loses its nerve. Lakin's script is funny, and there are many non-stereotypical choices (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
