Despite the film's made-for-TV aesthetic and performances, Coley has saturated its backstory with vividly drawn details that make this convoluted saga wholly believable. Read full review

Depicting the travails of an emotionally troubled Manhattan woman who returns to the remote Maine village of her childhood, Frank the Bastard doesn't reward the viewer's considerable investment of time and patience. Read full review

Why doesn’t Wendy Vanden Heuvel do more film? As Clair’s cranky cousin Alice, she does more acting with a smirk and a turtleneck than the rest of the cast combined. Read full review

Andrew Barker

Coley’s screenplay contains a few witty references and sharp one-liners, but they often work at cross-purposes with the overall narrative drive, drawing scenes out and stretching believability needlessly. Read full review

Aaron Hillis

Jul 23, 2015

Overlong and slack in suspense, the film is most noteworthy for its patchy accents and the late Ellen Albertini Dow (the "rapping granny" from The Wedding Singer). Read full review

The indecipherable motivations and half-baked subtexts present formidable challenges to the cast and the audience. Read full review
