Clarisse Loughrey Kermode & Mayo's Film Review 10/26/2018
The awkwardness extends even into the production design... there's a magazine called Horse Fun... this film is just a complete act of world building. Go to Full Review
Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times 10/25/2018
At nearly two hours, "An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn" grossly overstays its welcome, but the Hail Mary ending proves it to be a rather sweet and tender story about love lost and found in the unlikeliest of places. Go to Full Review

Oddball and bizarre engulf everything that describes Hosking's vision but there is just something that leaves you highly annoyed but thoroughly entertained simultaneously. Go to Full Review

An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn appeals to a very specific set of fans of a very specific genre, and those fans are bound to love it. Everyone else likely won't get the joke. Go to Full Review

Jeanne J Jun 1 A disjointed journey through theft, love, hate and a little mystery. It was quite annoying in its absurdity but compelling too. See more Hunt G Jan 5 I cannot believe how much I disliked this film, I love Aubrey Plaza, Craig Robinson and this is the only thing with Jemaine Clement that I haven't liked. It just plays flat and the attempts at humor don't work. Sorely disappointed. See more Jim P 02/01/2024 Campy, charming, surprising. Plus Aubrey Plaza disappears into her roles. See more Bryna L 09/03/2023 Tired of seeing actors like Aubrey plaza play the same thing over and over. See more Frank V 06/03/2023 So bad you can't believe it can get worse, but it does. Can't take your eyes off it. Thank god it's leaving Netflix this month. Hope it gets lost forever. What was Aubrey Plaza thinking? I mean: What!?! Was Aubrey Plaza THINKING? See more @TKDLife 01/03/2023 This movie is as unusual as the title. It is odd-really odd. While I can see why people might hate this unusual 1970's comedic tale of an unhappy woman, played by Aubrey Plaza, on the run from her miserable husband, and hoping to get reacquainted with her ex-boyfriend, played by Craig Robinson. This movie is part Wes Anderson, part David Lynch, and part Napoleon Dynamite, but all Jim Hosking. The visuals are that of a dreary 1970's town and the characters are unusual and quirky and interesting. Emile Hirsch is hysterical as Plaza's husband. Jermaine Clement is perfect as Plaza's smitten sidekick. Matt Berry is great as a Robinson's handler. The best part of this is that everyone is in on the madness. This movie makes no sense, but that is the charm. This one walks the razor's edge between painfully stupid and brilliant. I loved it. Sam Dissanayake is among my favorite parts of the movie.
