4/5
This is a film with pain and pleasure blended in a realistic and sweetly vulnerable way. Go to Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times Jun 11
2/5

Overall, The Venus Effect finds a young woman in need of finding herself and coming to terms with life’s many obstacles. Enchanting lead performances make for an easy watch even when the film loses its momentum near its final moments. Go to Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee Jun 3

3.5/5
