The story meanders near the end, but the anticlimax can't quite dispel the movie's warm eccentricity.

4/5

A remarkably compassionate portrait of American womanhood that inspires hope without denying reality.

A kind of social realism...there's a real feeling of family, but it's also a workplace, where it's possible for people to be mistreated...stripped-down and unexpected.

4/5

...a bitter, caustic but also very funny and wise film about how women have to deal with men’s vanities to eke out a living…has genuine insight to offer about how women might just about overcome a workplace system that’s clearly rigged in favour of men.

4/5

The opening credits lets you know that the film is operating on a shoestring budget, but within five minutes I was already invested in this slice-of-life working class comedy.

4/5

Who knew Hollywood could come up with a slice of middle America that isn’t a retread storyline and that comes from a fresh perspective.

This movie is both mundane and deeply touching at the same time. Its not really funny, but does show how people use humor to get through a world that is shitty to them

Thereâ(TM)s no question that this is an extremely personal and super relatable film about modern American sexism and classism, and that Hall is really great. I find little real fault in it, other than it just didnâ(TM)t do enough to reach outside of its own focused demo.

Despite Hallâ(TM)s heartfelt performance and the filmâ(TM)s inspiring message, this comedy doesnâ(TM)t find much depth or laughs and is ultimately forgettable.
