Critics Consensus

Afternoon Delight's uncertain tone is entertainingly offset by smart dialogue and standout starring work from Kathryn Hahn.

I want to see more movies like this, by more women, with more women. That would be delightful.

2.5/4

As a first film, Afternoon Delight is worth exploring -- perhaps mostly to see what film Soloway does next.

3/5

Relaxed, intuitive performances from the top-notch ensemble cast pay dividends, with Hahn commandingly stressy in the central role, and Michaela Watkins impressively abrasive as neighbourhood organiser-in-chief.

2.5/4.0

It is worth seeing almost solely for Kathryn Hahn's conflicted yet luminous performance.

A sometimes successfully coordinated comedic vehicle that finally gives Kathryn Hahn a worthy leading role.

A little film with little to say - but what it does, it does with a refreshing conviction and winning performances.

This was a pretty wild ride. It was entertaining and it did keep you interested in how the story was going to pan out. The story is just so out there that it's entertaining just from that standpoint. I don't think that it really stood out to me for much more than a really wild story, so I think the three stars is pretty spot on.

Hmm. Women don't know what they want? Is that the premise of the movie?

I've always wondered if it was Juno Temple's choice to play the role as a stripper with heart of gold or the producer/director's choice. Because I just don't believe her character would act like that in real life.

I watched this movie for Kathryn Hahn and she is the reason I stayed. Her acting is phenomenal. The story is good, but definitely cringe at times. I would love more movies like this.

Loved it from start to finish! All actors are great. More of a chick-flick

All star cast (temple, Hahn, curtain, Watkins) in a painfully slow and boring movie.
