Amy Nicholson, Boxoffice Magazine: Shades of gray? Moral ambiguity? Who needs 'em. Obsessed traffics in catharsis--we aren't here to learn about the human condition, we just want to watch Beyonce tromp a tramp. Read more
Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies: Elba and Larter are actually pretty good. Beyonce, through, strikes one note throughout. Read more
Dan Zak, Washington Post: As far as the crazy-stalker-chick genre goes, Obsessed isn't horrible. It's just intensely simple-minded. Read more
Cliff Doerksen, Chicago Reader: This biracial entry in the psycho-bitch stalker sweepstakes is inept and stupid but not without its base pleasures. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: Obsessed dutifully revises the 'blank from hell' genre which gave the world ridiculous, misogynist thrillers in the mid-1980s and early 1990s. Read more
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times: Obsessed, is short on dimension and subtlety, but it turns into a mess believable enough to keep us invested. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: It's doubtful that Obsessed will stick in the popular imagination for more than two weeks, because the movie is borderline ludicrous, and it jams its characters into rigid slots. Read more
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: More like Delayed Frustration than Fatal Attraction. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Whoever thought remaking Fatal Attraction as a PG-13 thriller was a good idea earns much of the blame for this laughably arch dud. Read more
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer: One doesn't expect a movie of this type to be plausible, but this one stretches the plausibility factor past the snapping point to the unintentional-laughter point. Read more
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: I'd call this stenchcloud 'Fatal Attraction meets The Temp,' but that would insult those movies. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: Obsessed takes far too long to get cooking, and it works so hard at not being exploitation that it loses sight of its reasons for existing in the first place. Read more
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail: Obsessed is a safe, dull morality play. The most that can be said on its behalf is that, unlike Fatal Attraction, no bunnies were boiled in the picture. Read more
Greg Quill, Toronto Star: If the producers had done their work properly on Obsessed, I would not now be wishing I could reclaim the two hours I wasted on this tepid, sexless, thrill-free melodrama. Read more
