		The Guardian	"What really makes Mermaids shine is the chemistry between Ryder and Cher (...) The screenplay is poignant and hilarious, the soundtrack banging and (most of) the acting excellent. "
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"'Mermaids' is not exactly good, but it is not boring. Winona Ryder, in another of her alienated outsider roles, generates real charisma (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Vincent Canby The New York Times	"Ryder is so good, in fact, that 'Mermaids' might have dared to be a tougher, more satisfying movie than the stylish sitcom it is"
		Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"As always, Cher’s comic timing is flawless, but the aggressive, drag-queen tackiness of Mermaids engulfs her soulfulness as a performer"
		Hal Hinson The Washington Post	"An infectious, bouncy diversion"
