Ricki and the Flash

Ricki and the Flash

Comedy, Drama, Music

A musician who gave up everything for her dream of rock-and-roll stardom returns home, looking to make things right with her family.


The critical consensus

As ever, Streep is impressive, performing all her songs live and showing gruff attitude and a strong finale makes up for some mid-section flab.

**(*)(*)(*)Helen O'Hara, Empire Online, 31/08/2015

Meryl Streep rocks out in this well-cast but slight musical dramedy.

***(*)(*)Angie Errigo, The List, 31/08/2015

Cute and easygoing with some laughs, but weighed down at times by cliché.

***(*)(*)Abbey Bender, Little White Lies, 03/09/2015

This feminist-lite film about a mother-daughter relationship is fun, in an AOR-ish way, thanks to smart direction and some 80s music nostalgia.

***(*)(*)Mike McCahill, The Guardian, 03/09/2015

Ricki’s life may be chaotic but the film hits the high notes when it counts, in rambunctious, crowd-pleasing fashion.
