Leave your thoughts about Lemon.
| Lagniappe (Mobile, AL)Asia FreyThere are more cringe-inducing touches of grossness than I need, and it undermines the assured writing and character development in service of easy potty jokes. |
| Paste MagazineAndrew CrumpIt’s an endurance test where viewers pit their tolerance for naked displays of ugly masculinity against Bravo’s assured directorial chops. It’s also the best, or maybe most vital, presentation of whiteness in theaters in 2017, or for that matter the last half decade or so of pop culture. |
| The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyLemon represents a feature debut of unusual assurance and control with a style all its own. |
| Shadow and ActAustin WilliamsWhere black stories told by white filmmakers are often handled as procedures, their subjects stiff and unconscious, films like Lemon, directed by women like Bravo are remarkable exercises in humanity. |
| The Young FolksEli FineLemon is the odd Wes Anderson pastiche - it brings to mind The Royal Tenenbaums in particular - that quickly develops its own essence, not least because it unexpectedly uses its Andersonian formalism and quirk to examine familial psychosis. |
| indieWireEric KohnEnhanced by a number of notable comedic actors entering uncharted terrain, it’s the kind of movie that makes you laugh and flinch in equal measures, and despite some messier twists, never ceases to move in surprising directions. |
| TheWrapKyle TurnerThis is a filmmaker precise in her composition and in her texture, her comedic beats reminiscent of both David Lynch and Issa Rae. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Emily YoshidaIt’s the work of a filmmaker who has been honing her own jarring, idiosyncratic sense of rhythm and character for years. As a debut feature, it feels auspicious; as a snapshot of a masculine emergency, it feels timeless. |
| The Daily BeastNick SchagerBeyond deadpan, beyond drollness, beyond absurdity, lies Lemon, a "comedy" so uniquely off-kilter that it's never exactly clear when, or why, one should laugh-and when one does, it often occurs long after a given gag. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshIn Lemon, Bravo and Gelman find a transcendent absurdity in the mundane that’s awkwardly enchanting. It’s more tart than sweet, but deliciously weird nonetheless. |
