"A delightful, oddball surprise."
— Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
"'Frank' has a wry sense of humor, the ring of authenticity and glimmers of genuine wisdom."
— Rafer Guzman, Newsday
"You're in for something funny, touching and vital. Director Lenny Abrahamson knows his way around eccentrics."
— Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"A quirky, utterly engaging film that manages to be amusing, dark, surprising and poignant without wasting a single one of its 95 minutes."
— Kristin Tillotson, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"A functioning, funny, weirdly touching fable of artistic angst and aspiration, a meditation on fame and its terrors and the metaphoric usefulness of masks and huge fake heads."
— Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
"Michael Fassbender spends the majority of Lenny Abrahamson's irreverent comedy 'Frank' buried underneath a giant plastic head, but the honesty of his performance is on full display."
— Eric Kohn, IndieWire
