There are times when Fox's nervy endeavor to combine art and life obliges one to give way to the other, but her efforts and reflections throughout are riveting.

Reviews for Flying: Confessions of a Free Woman
Despite [director] Fox's excruciating level of self-involvement, she manages, more than once, to lay bare critical questions that are at once familiar and compelling.
As maddening and sometimes embarrassing as her approach is, it works.
How would you like to be stuck in a dark room for hour upon hour listening to a neurotic middle-aged woman complain about her love life?
Fox is breaking new ground in terms of personal documentary, turning a navel-gazing survey of her own midlife crisis into a globalized, collaboratively created exploration of 'this new female life'...
In the end, Flying is a gentle monstrosity, swollen and silly, but shot through with some wonderful stories.
By turns playful, sexy, tragic and contemplative, Flying is an addictive soap about sexuality and sisterhood.
The combined view of so many varied lives does make this a worthwhile commitment, since, at its best, we feel as if we've been invited into the homes of unusually interesting strangers.
