Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter Dec 6, 2017
A low-key comedy of errors whose leads' underplayed oomph bolsters the uneven scenario. Go to Full Review
Andrew Barker Variety Mar 14, 2017
While it certainly has its moments, it remains frustratingly one-note, too cool to really commit to the screwball farce the premise is crying out for, and too enamored with picking off easy targets to draw real blood. Go to Full Review
Kahron Spearman Austin Chronicle Mar 13, 2017
Fits and Starts ultimately glows through Cenac's unique charisma. Go to Full Review
Aaron Peterson The Hollywood Outsider Oct 10, 2018
5.5/10
Fits and Starts is an entertaining but forgettable tale of two married writers trying to find middle ground. Go to Full Review
Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail Feb 25, 2018
The director displays a firm control of all the elements in this, her first feature, promising, we hope, even greater cinematic treasures to come. Go to Full Review
