| SlashfilmKalyn CorriganAt the end of the day, this is Izzo’s show. Her performance breathes new life into a story we’ve seemingly seen countless times before, now made anew. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenFeliciano's mix of social commentary and old-school melodrama can be sharp, but it can also be distractingly on-the-button. |
| IndieWireKate ErblandWomen Is Losers is an infectious and auspicious debut. |
| Paste MagazineNatalia KeoganFeliciano’s effort is particularly marred by hackneyed tropes. Whether it be that Latino fathers operate out of the same withered copy of a machismo manual or the simple assertion that kids simply “need a father,” Women Is Losers certainly won’t win over those yearning for something new. |
| VarietyTomris LafflyIt’s a rewarding experience to watch Izzo thread a tricky line with ease here, emitting both a child-like innocence and gradual steeliness that slowly yet convincingly sharpens and matures. If only the film could deserve her level of commitment. |
| The New York TimesConcepción de LeónIt’s arguable that Celina’s emotional distance is a true reflection of how working class women manage their feelings in order to cope. But it could be dissatisfying to a viewer craving to see women’s interior lives; their pain rather than their resilience. |
