In large part, the success of The Act so far comes down to one person: Joey King.

The series is so cleverly layered and edited that there are a few moments when one could be tempted to feel sorry for this terrible mother.

The show captures the level of fascination that was present in the Buzzfeed article... It serves as a great piece of additional insight into the events that transpired.
March 20, 2019
The scripts by Dean and Antosca and the performances by the two leads do a fine job exploring the murky power dynamic between mother and child... Both actors are terrific, but King is more likely the one people will be talking about after.

A reminder that even when you think you know a great deal about true story, there can be value in retelling it.

I don't know quite how to feel about The Act, about the discomfort of seeing childhood abuse dressed up on screen, even if I know it's not for gawking, even if I recognize the pull the Blanchard story has on me anyway. Perhaps that is the point.

It's as weird as any David Lynch drama, only true, and Arquette disappears into her role with absolute conviction.
March 19, 2019
Even with some lags in pacing, each time I thought the story was running out of juice, it found a different gear and a different genre, all anchored by King and Arquette.

Arquette's performance is one for the mother-as-monster chronicles.

The Act remains oddly fascinating, perhaps especially so as the strange, sad relationship between the needy Gypsy and disturbed Nick (Calum Worthy) develops.
