“Jessica Lange steals this surreal freak show with comical verve, purring and hissing in a delirious display of mock piety laced with menacing vulgarity.  In a sensational turn as a flamboyantly nosy neighbor, [she’s] elegant and menacing and deliciously arch, like something out of the 60’s camp classic Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte.She’s reason enough to tune in.” – TV Guide The true star of the series is Jessica Lange, who’s in roughly the age range of Bette Davis inWhatever Happened to Baby Jane? and Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte and just as regally nutty.  Lange has never been afraid to let her freak flag fly, and in this show she’s hoisting that baby over her head and twirling it around in figure-eights.  She’s a plummy marvel, issuing every line in a sinuous sing-song and caressing props as if they were long lost lovers’ hands.  Even her silences are in italics.” - Salon “Jessica Lange [is] easily the best element of the series.” – Hollywood Reporter “Jessica Lange, in glorious blood-and-moonlight-on-magnolias mode, is simply marvelous — she doesn’t just chew the scenery, she spits it into her hand and uses it to make hallucinogenic tea.” –Los Angeles Times “What makes Constance so engrossing is her deliciously contemptible portrayal by Jessica Lange.  Lange’s variant voice volumes and knack for saying the cruelest things in the kindest manner make her all the more unnerving and threatening.  Her […] conversation over poisoned cupcakes […] stands out among her finest scenes as an actress.” - PopMatters “[Jessica Lange] is giving a warts-and-all performance that will likely net her some awards nominations.” - Newsweek “Jessica Lange in American Horror Story is funny yet delicately ornate, like a dying tree decorating itself with moss.” - People “When Jessica Lange swans in as the nosy new neighbor, snooping around for the eventual Emmy nomination she’s sure to receive, it’s a reminder that nobody writes showy guest-star parts better than Murphy.” – New York Magazine “[There is] the indelible supporting work of Jessica Lange.  As a sinister neighbor with a Southern accent who drops by with Ipecac-flavored cupcakes, Lange is fantastically over the top.” – Boston Globe “Jessica Lange […] is a malicious hoot, far more colorful than the morose [lead] characters.” –Entertainment Weekly “A completely fabulous Jessica Lange having a romping good time.” – USA Today “Jessica Lange is terrific (in both senses of the word) as a sinister neighbor.” –Washington Post “Give Jessica Lange all of the awards - Emmys, Golden Globes, Oscars, soccer trophies.  ALL OF THE AWARDS.” - TV.com “Jessica Lange steals the scene as the couple’s “Proud Virginian” kleptomaniac neighbor and really should just pick up her Emmy now.” - E! Online “An absolutely delicious Jessica Lange, doing her first TV series, as the mysterious and clearly disturbed next-door neighbor […] is having the time of her life.” - Philadelphia Inquirer Jessica Lange has been putting together one of the best performances of her career. - Den of Geek  “[Constance] is played with grim relish by Jessica Lange.” – Miami Herald “[Constance] is deliciously played by Jessica Lange.” – Mercury News “While truly an ensemble series, Jessica Lange’s contribution is incalculable.  She completely sells one scene in particular that would be incomprehensible in any other hands but hers.” – ScifiMafia
