Leave your thoughts about Nappily Ever After.
| Cinema AxisCourtney SmallLathan convincingly brings a lot of depth to a role that could have easily been one-note in another performer's hands. |
| Common Sense MediaRenee SchonfeldRomantic dramedy with positive messages, language, sex. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyNappily Ever After is as much a polemic as it is anything else. In a confrontation with Clint, Violet says she is sick of how much brainspace is taken up with her hair. "It's like having a second full-time job," she exclaims, exhausted. |
| New York Amsterdam NewsLapacazo SandovalIt's light and charming, an evergreen love story produced by an intelligent and thoughtful producer, Tracey Bing. |
| The Daily DotKahron SpearmanThe entirely-too-safe comedy doesn't entirely work in plotting or script, but the film still feels vital in its message. |
| DeciderJoe ReidIn the end, it's Lathan's show, and she carries it strongly, playing Violet's self-doubt and perfectionism as a symptom, not the disease. |
| Black Girl NerdsJamie BroadnaxNappily Ever After is a story that we may have seen before in one form or another - but is still one worth retelling in its own way. |
| SlateInkoo KangAl-Mansour is both a natural and highly imperfect pick to adapt Trisha R. Thomas’ novel. |
| The Hollywood ReporterRobyn BahrNappily Ever After is simple and imperfect, but also so colorful and joyous you'll give the electric razor a double-take the next time you're in the bathroom. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Angelica Jade BastienUnfortunately, instead of coming across as a warm throwback, Nappily Ever After is a romantic comedy saddled with a reductive understanding of black womanhood without enough cast chemistry or beauty to distract us. |
