Leave your thoughts about The Map of Tiny Perfect Things.
| Screen RantMae AbdulbakiWhile the film could have spent more time specifically exploring Margaret’s life, The Map of Tiny Perfect Things is a thoughtful, charming, and heartwarming film that utilizes the time loop aspects to great effect. |
| Vanity FairRichard LawsonThe Map of Tiny Perfect Things knows its limits. It’s careful about when to be twee, when to strive for profundity, and when to hold back. The film has an agreeably modest scale, despite its lofty considerations of physics and the makeup of existence. |
| The GuardianAdrian HortonThe Map of Tiny Perfect Things holds a contained, idealized world – a trove of romcom enjoyment and small treasures I had no problem looping through. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliRomantic comedies can be like road trip movies in that the journey is often more enjoyable than the inevitable destination. It helps the fantasy when the actors relate to each other in a pleasant, believable fashion. In this case, Kyle Allen and Kathryn Newton interact with sufficient amity to hold our interest, although Newton shines more brightly than Allen. |
| The PlaylistAlly JohnsonIt’s doubtful you’ll be shocked by any major event in the film, but it’s the ability of The Map of Tiny Perfect Things to surprise you with the emotional resonance that ends up being its biggest strength |
| VarietyCourtney HowardThe feature’s genteel, sweet spirit and radiant lead performances rescue it from forgettable mediocrity and genre familiarity. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeKyle Allen and Kathryn Newton balance energies well as the boy who thinks he's found his groundhog girlfriend and the girl whose secrets keep romance at bay. Viewers who haven't soured on the format yet could do much worse than this sweet entry. |
| Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersThe Map of Tiny Perfect Things mingles happiness and sadness as easily as it does genres, ultimately resulting in a film that is its own little joy. |
| Wall Street JournalJohn AndersonMs. Newton is the kind of performer who seizes one’s attention immediately; Mr. Allen is, by nature of the story, relegated to more of a supporting role as the narrative progresses, but he’s an amiable presence. |
| Consequence of SoundLauren J. CoatesWhile it flirts with some exciting and original concepts, The Map of Tiny Perfect Things is plagued with an uninspired story, flat characters, and a pair of romantic leads that have zero chemistry. It’s not overtly offensive, but it’s certainly the kind of movie we won’t remember two time-loops from now. |
