| CraveOnlineWilliam BibbianiWatching Gerwig fight to give Brooke dignity in a story that is specifically designed, by the protagonist mind you, to use her for intellectual sport is a grand and complex experience. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaAlthough Mistress America is very much a New York movie, full of references to couture, pop culture, boutique hotels (to Antigone and Faulkner, too), its comic centerpiece is a brazen assault on a country compound. |
| Sacramento News & ReviewDaniel BarnesA sharp, funny, endlessly quotable movie about female friendship dynamics. |
| L.A. BizAnnlee Ellingson[E]xplores the dynamics of female friendship - how a really great girlfriend can make you feel like you can do anything, and how losing her can be as painful as a breakup. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayEven at its most daft and infectiously ditzy, Mistress America is a sharp, aware and surpassingly kind portrait of the agony and ecstasy of becoming yourself. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawDid Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach just invent mumblecore screwball? |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsIt's funny, witty, joyous, mischievous and casually profound. |
| MLive.comJohn SerbaGerwig is so immersed in her character, she's beyond trying to be funny, and instead just is funny. As funny as anything I've seen this year. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeFast, funny, appealing, perfectly judged -- a comedy and more --this may be Noah Baumbach's best film. Co-writer star Greta Gerwig and Lola Kirke are a dream pairing. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Cara NashIt seems that Gerwig, Baumbach's real-life partner, has brought a welcome warmth to the director's work, but his wry humour and observations remain just as sharp. |
