Leave your thoughts about Fits and Starts.
| Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenA low-key comedy of errors whose leads' underplayed oomph bolsters the uneven scenario. |
| Consequence of SoundMarten CarlsonFits and Starts sometimes seems unable to handle character, story, and motivation at the same time. |
| Bust MagazineSamantha LadwigFits and Starts is a hilarious interpretation of modern artistry. |
| Hammer to NailChristopher Llewellyn ReedThe director displays a firm control of all the elements in this, her first feature, promising, we hope, even greater cinematic treasures to come. |
| The Hollywood OutsiderAaron PetersonFits and Starts is an entertaining but forgettable tale of two married writers trying to find middle ground. |
| User ReviewKristin BIt's nice to watch a movie where the world isn't going to end. It's also great to see a film where race isn't an issue and people work through their problems for the better. It also does a nice job of making fun of all those annoying and pretentious "artists" out there. |

| User ReviewPat BSaw this at SXSW and was struck by the ease of the humor and the simple charm that enfolded me once the movie wrapped up. Winning performances all around, but Lee and Cenac are truly inviting presences into the mannered but vicious world of the novelist's mind. |
