Leave your thoughts about Half Magic.
| Bust MagazineErika W. SmithHalf Magic's dialogue can sometimes be heavy-handed, but its over-the-top nature helps make the movie fun. |
| SF WeeklySherilyn ConnellyHalf Magic is very funny, and fully woke. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard Roeper[An] uneven but timely and quite funny feminist satire. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfGraham tries to make a war cry for women that teaches a thing or two about self-esteem and communication. Intentions are pure, but inspiration slowly dissipates. |
| MattPais.comMatt PaisHalf Magic has its heart in the right place. Its head needs work. |
| Slant MagazineWes GreeneThe film displays a sprightly tone and blissful sense of liberation in charting the exploits of characters seeking to live by their own feminine-centric rules. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckWhile the pic proves too frivolous to make its satirical and social points fully register, it offers diverting pleasures along the way. |
| New England Movies WeeklyDaniel M. KimmelThis male critic is guessing the film will probably resonate more with women, but that doesn't mean men can't learn something and be entertained by it. |
| CinemacyMorgan RojasIf there were ever a movie to propel the #MeToo and "Time's Up" movements to the forefront of conversation, it would be Half Magic. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Leigh MonsonHalf Magic feels like a breath of fresh air. It's a bit clunky and more than a little self-congratulatory, but the notion of a comedy aimed at women taking such a vicious swipe at male self-absorption feels novel. |
