| VarietyAlissa SimonLike “Boogie Nights,” Miss Lovely offers a visually stunning evocation of a disreputable subculture, although it lacks that pic’s rooting dramatic interest. |
| Village VoiceNick SchagerRife with jealousy, treachery, and violence, it's a stylish portrait of the tangled relationship between cinematic and real-world sleaze. |
| Austin ChronicleJosh KupeckiElliptical, authentic, and with a strong palate of visual flair, Miss Lovely can be a confusing concoction at times, but it is never boring. |
| New York PostFarran Smith NehmeAn explosion of images, mixing seedy, hand-held reality with groovy grindhouse imitations. Most of the shots are vivid, some are even thrilling. |
| The Hollywood ReporterStephen DaltonAhluwalia has striven for a very self-consciously arty aesthetic here, more Gus Van Sant than Michael Mann. This is a commendably bold way to approach material that might otherwise have drifted into routine lowlife crime-thriller territory, but it also drains a rich story of narrative momentum and emotional punch. |
| The New York TimesNicolas RapoldThough not pretentious, his film feels a tad overthought, held back somehow by a stubborn, dour obscurity clouding its freshly realized, lurid milieu. |
| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiMiss Lovely does exude an air of authenticity... But much of the film remains underdeveloped. |
| The DissolveDavid EhrlichAhluwalia’s commitment to accurately capturing the era’s aesthetic almost compensates for his failure to mine a good story from a great setting. |
| Slant MagazineGlenn Heath Jr.The women of the film certainly deserve better, as they're often relegated to the role of victim, harmed or murdered simply to propel the plot along. |
