| Mediaversity ReviewsLi LaiIt's life-affirming to watch a trans woman direct a movie about whatever the hell she wants. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansIt's young Murray and Crow who give Deidra & Laney Rob a Train its spunk and its quicksilver emotional shifts, as the girls veer from criminal masterminds to argumentative siblings in no time flat. |
| Film School RejectsJacob OllerDeidra & Laney Rob a Train is both a caper film and a high school comedy and for every moment it stumbles at one, it excels at the other. |
| Shadow and ActAramide TinubuThere isn't much that doesn't work in Deidra & Laney Rob a Train. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt can be a silly film, but its heart is always in the right place, supplying meaningful themes and characterization, which are always supported by fantastic performances. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenWorking from a snappy but never snarky screenplay by first-timer Shelby Farrell, helmer Freeland (Drunktown’s Finest) maintains a strain-free upbeat energy yet keeps the action rooted in a strong sense of place and class. |
| The Film StageRyan SwenA film that feels both pleasing and vaguely unformed. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt's a zippy, appealingly off-kilter comedy that offers a pleasant evening's entertainment. |
| Black Girl NerdsJamie BroadnaxThe ambiance of this film does have a tweeny adolescent vibe. That's not a slight to the film, I'm just saying be prepared to see cute movie montages with bubblegum pop music playing underneath along with an ensemble cast of mostly teens and young adults. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThat rare made-for-Netflix comedy clever enough, desperate enough, that it could have found an audience on the big screen. |
