Leave your thoughts about The Pretty One.
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenThe film is a quiet, tender triumph that leaves you feeling as if you've been embraced without you feeling had. |
| leonardmaltin.comLeonard MaltinThe premise of "The Pretty One" may be far-fetched, but it's carried out with sincerity and the results are amusing, ironic, and thoughtful. Here's a small-scale movie that offers a gleam of satisfaction. |
| The PlaylistRodrigo PerezA genuinely sweet, charming and funny tale of identity lost and found. |
| Village VoiceAaron HillisKazan holds together a decent coming-of-age script that's emotionally sincere if tonally unfocused. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoOne of those films with such a rich premise, you can't believe it hasn't been made before, yet you sure believe it could've only been made by LaMarque. |
| CinemacyMorgan RojasThe Pretty One serves as director Jenée LaMarque's directorial debut, and while her style isn't revolutionary, it is a fun movie. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenThe identity crisis could have been more convincing if Zoe Kazan had Zoe Deschanel's charm. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonFar too blithe and cheery, yet nowhere near madcap and comic enough, for its potentially powerful switched-twins conceit... |
| Movie DearestFr. Chris CarpenterGiven its morbid, somewhat clichéd premise, I was pleasantly surprised by "The Pretty One." While no classic, it is both refreshingly quirky and more sensitive than expected. |
| Examiner.comTravis HopsonLike its lead character, The Pretty One is a little unstable even as its charms are irresistible. |
