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.

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.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Good movie, funny, human and harsh. Good job making a movie that was reasonable to watch while addressing a difficult subject head on.

What a tough movie to endure, only because of the stomach-churning issues that the writer and the lead actors bring. I found this by watching another movie starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead, called "The Parts You Lose", and looking for her movie history. Aha! "10 Cloverfield Lane." Sure, I've seen that. But this? Never heard of it but I was intrigued because of the angle of her as a comedian. What I was not prepared for was the depth of her performance here as Nina. I'd not seen Common before and had no idea of his chops but he was okay here. Not much required, not much delivered. Bottom line? I watched it two nights in a row to get more out of it. No mistake there. I wish I could have a David Letterman or a similar long-form interview show with Elizabeth. She, and the movie - they're keepers.

Miami New Times

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.

Globe and Mail

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

Rated: 3/4

An electric turn from Mary Elizabeth Winstead pulses through this striking feature debut from short filmmaker Eva Vives, which effectively shines a light on issues of honesty, identity and equality...

It's the character-driven story of a stand up comic who hides her vulnerability behind a mask of tough humor, alcohol and casual sex. Mary Elizabeth Winstead stars and is absolutely brilliant.

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