Richard Roeper

May 16, 2023

Like so many cautionary tales we’ve seen come out of Hollywood since there was a Hollywood, “You Don’t Know Me” is one long reminder to be careful what you wish for—because dreams that come true often arrive with tentacles attached. Read full review

Noel Murray

May 16, 2023

This is an in-depth film about a person many presumed had no depth at all. It’s a cautionary tale — not just for future sex symbols, for those who write about them. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

May 24, 2023

It’s a sad story, of course, with overdoses and deaths and sort of classical American “price of fame” arc. But it’s also revealing, and only rarely judgemental — even handed, I thought. Read full review

The Guardian Peter Bradshaw

May 16, 2023

It’s an effective retelling, though the film could have concentrated more on her tragicomic relationship with her oil plutocrat husband. Could it actually have been a love story after all? Read full review

Angie Han

May 16, 2023

You Don’t Know Me aims to cut past the mythology to reveal the flesh-and-blood woman underneath, and in doing so assembles a mostly sympathetic, mostly compelling portrait of an all-American tragedy. But when even a movie aimed at capturing the “true” Anna Nicole Smith seems unsure exactly who that might be, it’s hard not to wonder who any of this is really for. Read full review

Brian Lowry

May 16, 2023

While there are some new details in the telling, the net effect leaves the Smith that people didn’t know, other than those meticulously airbrushed photo spreads, largely untouched. Read full review

Smith deserves a 21st century reassessment, but you won’t find it here. Read full review

Há uma ponta de história aqui, sobre uma modelo bem canastrona, Anna Nicole Smith, típico de uma participante com perfil de ser selecionada para o BBB camarote.

O filme tenta abordar várias questões, do uso de sua imagem a casamentos arrumados, um em especial com um bilionário do petróleo com o qual tivera um filho e, posteriormente viera a falecer.
Com isso, o filme entra naquilo que poderia ser mais interessante explorar com cuidado: suas futuras e interesseiras relações, num filme que poderia usar do argumento de mulher livre e seu envolvimento com vários aos tendo de fundo os letígios jurídicos pela sucessão.
Ocorre que é tudo contado de forma tão sem inspiração, que é muito fácil distrair-se ou, o que é pior, deixar de ter interesse.
São muitas volta, muitos nomes, uma trilha cansativa, enquadramentos de fotos que parecem estar ora deslocados do que se narra, ora bem mal feitos, ainda mais que o filme é uma bagunça em termos de situar o público no tempo e no espaço.
Todo esse caos resulta em um filme fraco, e a própria pessoa retratada parece banal. e isso não tem nada a ver com a profissão da moça. Pegue-se o documentário da Pamela Anderson, por exemplo, que sabe explorar o roteiro de forma coesa, sendo um filme muito melhor de assistir. Esse se resume a ser sobre uma mulher que era olhada de diversas camadas, pelos amantes, pela mídia, pelos próprios filhos e pela mãe, enfim, e vários desses olhares são simplesmente postos com uma falta de coesão impressionante pro material. É apenas assistível, e no final da projeção, de fato, ela grita para você: "You don't know me".… Expand
