Cake finds Jennifer Aniston making the most of an overdue opportunity to test her dramatic chops, but it lacks sufficient depth or warmth to recommend for all but her most ardent fans.

Aniston shows quite brilliantly the effect of the constant pain on both her character's body and her mind. February 20, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

If I were Jennifer Aniston, I would be fuming. And I would be wondering what exactly I had to do to get an Oscar nomination for best actress. February 20, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

As for Aniston, she gives an honest, well-intentioned performance, but it is marooned in an unsatisfying script whose emotional effects are unearned. February 19, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

A brilliant Jennifer Aniston lead performance isn't enough to save this doughy, maudlin piece of misery porn. February 19, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Whether or not Aniston ever gets another role like this one, I have a hard time imagining anyone else in it -- and that's the sign of a genuine actor. February 2, 2015 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It's refreshing to see the talented actress working outside the studio system in a performance that stands out as one of her best to date. Unfortunately, the rest of the film feels like one big, bland pity-party. July 18, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Cake is an emotionally moving film carried by Aniston's sharp performance; however its shallow treatment of relationships means it fails to be more than the sum of its parts. May 16, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Cake is mostly a melancholy, tragically stunning film, with a groundbreaking performance by Aniston and enough biting humor and heart to create the perfect balance it needs to make a lasting impression. May 10, 2019 | Rating: A | Full Review…

Barnz's Cake could have been an intriguing look into the world of chronic pain and depression, but trying to be a jack-of-all-trades ruined the film and left it a master of none. April 4, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The reason the process isn't compelling is because it's a bridge to nowhere; Cake is monotonous, rudderless, and doesn't make any real statements about depression, suicide, or the act of grieving. March 19, 2019 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…
