	Author	Review
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"This one-dimensional biopic reduces important 20th century political figures to cardboard cutouts."	NEG
United Kingdom	Ed Gibbs The Guardian	"The source material is Anne Marie du Preez Bezdrob's biography, and the period detail is spot on. Yet 'Winnie': the movie opts to (...) play it absurdly safe. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
Canada	Toronto Star	"It won't satisfy history students curious about this polarizing figure, nor fans of its star, Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson. (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
