Critical Consensus
Critics Reviews Average Grade:   B-   
Charlotte Observer, Lawrence Toppman
"The movie runs out of steam before its finish, but [Kidman] doesn't." more...
B-
Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert
"There is a curious problem with Birthday Girl, hard to put your finger on: The movie is kind of sour. It wants to be funny and a little nasty, it wants to surprise us and then console us, but what it mostly does is make us restless." more...
C+
Chicago Tribune, Michael Wilmington
"...smart but inconsequential...[but] Kidman has a magical presence as an actress, and she gives any movie she's in bewitching moments." more...
B-
CNN.com, Paul Clinton
"Kidman has definitely come into her own." more...
