Critics review P!nk's acting debut

Moore (the artist also known as Pink) is natural and believable, and she has phenomenal chemistry with Gad.

And then there's Pink, billed here under her birth name, Alecia Moore, and popping off the screen with a beguiling vulnerability behind the badass shell. She's a vivid performer in her own right, and beyond that she makes a terrific foil for Gad, whose role calls for both focused intensity and the flop-sweat comedy that made him his name in Broadway's Mormon. Moore's deadpan amplifies Gad's exasperation over some of their shared insanity; his first-responder's competence provides a solid frame to contain her panic in a crisis moment. Together they make their shared storyline a whole lot more engaging than it might have been.

Best of all, Alecia Moore, a.k.a. Pink, steals every scene she's in as Dede, a sex addict struggling to understand her dysfunction.

Better known as pop-punkster Pink, Moore proves a capable actor and a relaxed, enormously likable screen presence

Alecia Moore, a.k.a. Pink, the rocker making an especially engaging acting debut....
...
It helps that Neil is tag-teaming it with Dede (Moore). They make a formidable duo; Neil's weakness and Dede's strength balance each other out beautifully. Both actors are completely at ease in their altered states.
...
But like too much else in the film, it doesn't go as far as it should. More Moore and more Gad would have been nice. More emotion, more depth, more resolution too. Instead, "Thanks for Sharing" ultimately feels empty. It doesn't share enough.

Pink who is a truly pleasant surprise in her first major screen outing (not counting animated gigs), with her first scene in the film among one of the best in 'Sharing' at large.

Which brings us nicely to Alecia “Pink” Moore, who, based on her work here, really needs to tackle more acting roles. She’s very solid as DeDe, a fellow meeting-goer who is doing her damnedest to figure out her disease. The character of DeDe could have gone disastrous on a number of fronts, but Blumberg and Pink manage to deliver a female character that’s far stronger than any of the main male characters. Kudos must be given to both for this aspect of the film, even though it holds the rest of the plot-lines up to derision by stark comparison.
