  • Roger Ebert, still alive when the film came out, gave it three and a half stars. — Bill Simmons
  • The review is quoted calling it a more or less deliberate attempt to cross the chick flick with the raunch comedy that proves women are the equal of men in vulgarity, sexual frankness, lust, vulnerability, over-drinking and insecurity. — Bill Simmons
  • The review is called kind of weird, though the three and a half stars were good; chick flick is noted as a term no longer used. — Bill Simmons

  • Roger Ebert gave the film two and a half stars. — Bill Simmons
  • The quoted review calls Country Strong one of the best movies of 1957, meant sincerely as a compliment, contrasting it with Natalie Portman "mentally disemboweling herself for art," whom Ebert admired and expected to earn an Oscar nomination. — Bill Simmons
  • The review describes the film as a throwback 1950s melodrama built from stock elements: a depressed heroine, a manipulating husband, an ambivalent other man, and a young Eve Harrington waiting in the wings. — Bill Simmons
  • The review is praised as one of Ebert's best: the movie is old-school, released when movies were in their Black Swan stage. — Bill Simmons
