San Francisco Chronicle (Bob Graham)
At its most interesting, and a bit frightening, when Moore starts to get a little loony. Too bad they didn't follow through and make this more of a psychological thriller than a melodrama. ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at San Francisco Chronicle (Bob Graham)
Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
By the ending of the film, which is unconvincingly neat, I was distracted by too many questions to care about the answers. ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
USA Today (Andy Seiler)
Pretty hard to buy into at all. ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at USA Today (Andy Seiler)

It's pretty muddle-headed and confusing. ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at Chicago Tribune (Marc Caro)
Seattle Post-Intelligencer (Sean Axmaker)
Though a hypnotically beautiful film, it's dramatically listless and dull, and completely lacking in passion. ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at Seattle Post-Intelligencer (Sean Axmaker)
New York Daily News (Jami Bernard)
Leaves the viewer exhausted, jet-lagged from the effort of investing equally in competing story lines. ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at New York Daily News (Jami Bernard)
New York Post (Lou Lumenick)
A shallow, stilted romantic thriller. ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at New York Post (Lou Lumenick)
Houston Chronicle
A screening of Passion of Mind would be a great place to convene a Demi Moore fan club. After all, its unofficial president is in every scene.
Long known for films indulging a celebration of the many things Demi, Moore has outdone even herself in this ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at Houston Chronicle
SF, Horror and Fantasy Film Review
The last few years has seen a formation of a new subgenre known as the Woman's Film or the Chick Flick, fostered through the likes of Steel Magnolias (1987), Thelma and Louise (1991), Boys on the Side (1994), The Bridges of Madison County (1995), ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at SF, Horror and Fantasy Film Review

When Marie is asleep in France, Marty is awake in New York. When Marty is asleep in New York, Marie is awake in France. Both women are played by Demi Moore in Alain Berliner's "Passion of ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
Boston Herald (James Verniere)
Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice
Passion of Mind is a chick flick. And worse, it stars Demi Moore. Passion of Mind is a slow-moving chick flick written by Ron Bass that is kind of like the Gwyneth Paltrow film Sliding Doors.In a dual performance, Moore stars as Marie and Marty. Marie ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice
filmcritic.com (Norm Schrager)
French director Alain Berliner stepped briefly into the limelight a couple of years ago with the impressive Ma Vie en Rose, a colorful look at a young boy who thinks he’s a girl. Just as the poor boy’s uncertainty tears at his family, Demi ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at filmcritic.com (Norm Schrager)
Detroit News (Susan Stark)
Austin Chronicle (Marjorie Baumgarten)
Demi Moore was probably smart to take a break from some of her recent dramatic failures (Striptease, The Juror, The Scarlet Letter) and lie low for a couple of years before coming back with this story about a woman and her troubled identity. Directed by ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at Austin Chronicle (Marjorie Baumgarten)

Austin Chronicle (Marjorie Baumgarten)
Moore succeeds, even though the film as a whole does not fare as well. ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at Austin Chronicle (Marjorie Baumgarten)
TV Guide (Stephen Miller)
What may have looked good on paper across the Atlantic gets lost in the translation to our shores. ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at TV Guide (Stephen Miller)
Philadelphia Inquirer (Steven Rea)
It's too gauzy, and - with its Ron Bass script - too goopy by half. ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at Philadelphia Inquirer (Steven Rea)
ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
For anyone who is intrigued by Passion of Mind's central conceit (the only worthwhile aspect of this entire mess), the best move would be to give this motion picture a wide berth and to rent Kryzsztof Kieslowski's The Double Life of ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
One Guy's Opinion (Frank Swietek)
Steve Rhodes
With 2 fabulous lives, 2 designerdecorated homes, 2 supportive lovers, 2 beautiful countries, 2 highprofile professions and 2 wise shrinks, Marie/Marty would appear to have it all. She does, of course, have the difficulties of living these dual ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at Steve Rhodes
Flipside Movie Emporium (Jeremiah Kipp)
There are too many scenes with Demi Moore having picnics or glasses of wine with her lovers, sitting on the rocks of Central Park or inside a cave illuminated by the setting sun, whispering sweet nothings or casting forlorn glances at one another. ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at Flipside Movie Emporium (Jeremiah Kipp)
ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
Passion of Mind is the latest embarrassingly bad motion picture to wreck an intriguing premise. Screenwriter/producer Ron Bass (Stepmom, The Joy Luck Club) may be one of the most overrated authors in Hollywood, and Passion of Mind shows him at his worst. ...read the complete Passion of Mind movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
