Critics Consensus

A well-acted if slightly formulaic story of friendship, Sitting in Bars with Cake moves between laughter and tears without succumbing to melodrama.

Better than it sounds, thanks to terrific performances and a perceptive screenplay.

4/5

It's refreshing to see a beautiful, character-driven story that feels small, but oh-so relatable.

It’s lucky that A’zion, as the cancer-stricken friend, pulls our attention away from the titular plotline until we practically forget the film claims to care about baked goods.

A charming, gen-z answer to Beaches (and even features Bette Midler in a small role).

2.5/5

The only real conflict arises from Corinne's annoyance that her friend won't stand up for herself. The two work in the same music industry talent agency, where the boss is played Bette Midler in the truest "What is she doing here?" fashion.

2/5

Generix as white sheet cake, It's full of lazy rom-com vibes and turns this true story into sort of this of Gen Z beaches.
