Critics Consensus

Led by an outstanding central performance from Mary Elizabeth Winstead and brilliantly held together by writer-director Eva Vives, All About Nina is a delightfully raw dramedy.

Always a likable actor, here Winstead is at a charismatic high, carrying a mediocre film, making it impossible to turn off through her star power alone.

3/4

Mostly, Vives' work is a series of punch lines that feel more like gut punches - a relentless challenge that Winstead handles with seeming ease.

Nina lays everything on the line, and in telling her story, Vives does too.

A raw and heartbreaking - and, sadly, never more relevant - exploration of an abuse survivor's anger, loss, and sadness.

There's an intimacy here that's often lacking in other romantic comedies.

Not a great movie, but my God is Mary Elizabeth Winstead a force in this film. The movie isn't gonna win any awards but she certainly could have.

A dark dramadey about a broken woman who becomes a comedian to cover the pains of a devastating past. Not a bad movie for a solo viewing, but not a good date movie either. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of five.

Somewhat unpleasant but Mary Elizabeth Winstead should have gotten all the awards.

I wasn't expecting an indie character study lead by the always-convincing Winstead to be so uproarious and amusing. The ending is such a low-blow stalemate that would serve better as a second act in this kind of story.

I usually love Common and Mary Elizabeth Winslow... but neither of them could save this script. Oh my God, it's awkward.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead isn't someone I would've pegged to nail a role as a stand-up comedian. However, she does a tremendous job and takes an otherwise okay film up a notch with her work. She has good chemistry with Common and her on-stage monologue is fantastic, though it does feel like a big change for the film's tone.
