 "A gripping, searing portrait of a lost soul trying to find her way through life."
-- Ron Wells, FILM THREAT
"Bennett's naturalistic performance speaks volumes more truth than any 'reality' show, and anybody contemplating their own drastic life changes should watch Some Body first."
-- Tor Thorsen, REEL.COM
 "Dreary, highly annoying...'Some Body' will appeal to No One."
-- Frank Swietek, ONE GUY'S OPINION
"It's so tedious that it makes you forgive every fake, dishonest, entertaining and, ultimately, more perceptive moment in Bridget Jones's Diary."
-- Bob Strauss, LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS
"Exists then as an occasionally insightful acting exercise."
-- Norm Schrager, FILMCRITIC.COM
"Some Body often looks like an episode of the TV show Blind Date, only less technically proficient and without the pop-up comments."
-- Kim Morgan, OREGONIAN
"These characters become wearisome."
-- Harvey S. Karten, COMPUSERVE
"Bennett's dramatization of her personal descent into post-breakup perdition has a morbid appeal that's tough to shake."
-- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"To be influenced chiefly by humanity's greatest shame, reality shows -- reality shows for God's sake! -- is a crime that should be punishable by chainsaw."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
"Not much to get excited about here."
-- E! ONLINE

"There's a solid woman- finding-herself story somewhere in here, but you'd have to dig pretty deep to uncover it."
-- Eric D. Snider, ERICDSNIDER.COM
"Winds up being both revelatory and narcissistic, achieving some honest insight into relationships that most high-concept films candy-coat with pat storylines, precious circumstances and beautiful stars."
-- Jordan Reed, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
"Just because it really happened to you, honey, doesn't mean that it's interesting to anyone else."
-- Andy Klein, NEW TIMES
"No film could possibly be more contemptuous of the single female population."
-- Ed Gonzalez, SLANT MAGAZINE
"An unremittingly ugly movie to look at, listen to, and think about, it is quite possibly the sturdiest example yet of why the DV revolution has cheapened the artistry of making a film."
-- Jason Clark, MATINEE MAGAZINE
"A spunky, original take on a theme that will resonate with singles of many ages."
-- Erica Abeel, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL

Avg. Rating: 5.6/10 |
"In the end there is one word that best describes this film: honest."
-- Bruce Westbrook, HOUSTON CHRONICLE
"You might not want to hang out with Samantha, but you'll probably see a bit of yourself in her unfinished story."
-- Chris Vognar, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"A painfully funny ode to bad behavior."
-- Jan Stuart, NEWSDAY
"Ms. Bennett is worth watching, and her story is weirdly detailed enough to prove once more that truth is too strange for good fiction."
-- Andrew Sarris, NEW YORK OBSERVER
"[Bennett's] quite convincing as she tries to figure out what has gone wrong in her personal life -- and how she can fix it before it is too late."
-- John Petrakis, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"An amateurish, quasi-improvised acting exercise shot on ugly digital video."
-- Lou Lumenick, NEW YORK POST
"Some Body is a shaky, uncertain film that nevertheless touches a few raw nerves."
-- Dave Kehr, NEW YORK TIMES
"[Sam's] self-flagellation is more depressing than entertaining."
-- J. Hoberman, VILLAGE VOICE
"Some Body smacks of exhibitionism more than it does cathartic truth telling."
-- Edward Guthmann, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"Some Body will take you places you haven't been, and also places you have."
-- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"As vulgar as it is banal."
-- Nicole Arthur, WASHINGTON POST
