Movie Reviews

RogerEbert.com - 9/10 by Nick AllenOnce it sheds the immediate air of imitation, L.A. Times vastly improves and even becomes charming.
Moveable Fest - 8/10 by Stephen SaitoConsistently taking chances on pleasingly oddball ideas to accompany finely crafted one-liners, the filmmaker assuredly balances tone and multiple storylines, showing the confidence that her onscreen alter ego is in search of.
Film Threat - 8/10 by Bradley GibsonIn the wrong hands, this could have been a very dry repetition of situations seen onscreen before, but Morgan deftly and gently introduces sympathetic characters we become attached to despite their flaws.
The Film Stage - 8/10 by Jordan RaupAs the film progresses and a comedic rhythm clicks into place, L.A. Times blazes its own distinct, disenchanted trail of romance in the modern age.
TheWrap - 8/10 by Steve PondThis is a gentle, genial update, consistently amusing and always likable; it may not break new ground, but it finds enough of new jokes, and Morgan’s obvious love of language gives it an extra charge.
The Playlist - 8/10 by Noel Murray[Morgan's] observations about Hollywood’s image-consciousness and the transactional nature of L.A. relationships are nothing new. But there’s a specificity and a liveliness to her jokes that makes them feel almost fresh — or, at the least, relevant.
Variety - 7/10 by Geoff BerkshireFirst-time writer-director (and also star) Michelle Morgan brings just enough specificity, and a surprisingly sharp eye, to make the film an interesting calling card for future work.
indieWire - 7/10 by Steve GreeneThis whirling vortex of dysfunctional friends and acquaintances feel like an unfocused and self-absorbed melange of frustration. It’s a parade of broken people, connected only by their fruitless pursuits of happiness.
Screen International - 6/10 by Anthony KaufmanAs a satire about L.A. living, the movie delivers its fair share of zingers. With a script that recalls Whit Stillman and TV sitcoms, Morgan’s crisp dialogue sometimes hits its target.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Katie WalshMorgan’s arch script about the doomed love lives of the young, rich and idle in L.A. is at times a Whit Stillman-esque social satire. There’s a whiff of a whip-smart, acid-tongued Jane Austen heroine in Annette, but she’s lacking an essential ingredient: empathy.
