      Critics Consensus

      Band Aid tells a solidly affecting story of a relationship on the rocks -- and marks star Zoe Lister-Jones, who also wrote and directed, as a tremendous triple threat worth watching.

      bonnie m I liked this movie, even though the first fight -- the first few minutes of the film - wasn't believable to me. The actors looked bemused rather than angry. But then it picked up, and I enjoyed their chemistry, the humor, and the music. The neighbor was quirky but sweet, and I liked his relationship with the couple. In the first couple of bed scenes, Lister wears a bra, which is never believable to me. I mean, who goes to bed in their bra? A nightgown or pajamas, yes, but a bra, no. Then later, she's topless, and it seemed somewhat gratuitous. Overall, it showed a real relationship, and the creative way the couple dealt with grief touched me. I was impressed that Lister wrote, acted, and directed the movie. The songs are catchy! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review jaime h Fresh, funny, and wonderfully tuned into today's relationships. Zoe Lister Jones has proven to be one of the best to watch for! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Very funny. I really like sarcastic jokes. The methaphor. Their chemistry. Relatable. I liked everything. I enjoyed it so much and It's simple and yet effective. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Zoe Lister Jones ...great job! This movie was fun to watch it was funny. At times it made me feel awkward it had all the feelings to go with the great movie that was able to reach out from the screen and touch each individual person in a different way. I also read where she had a female crew working on the movie which I think is kind of great.well part of the movie speaks about narrowing the gender gap. She writes and performs a great piece ....songs as well. All while trying to narrow the gender gap. As we go forth Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review jimmy j Band Aid is a quirky love story that keeps you engaged by its strong performances and entertaining look into what could be 'real" couple struggles. Humorous and darling humanizing I was shocked to learn that Zoe Lister-Jones was the mastermind behind the entire project. Polarizing. Band Aid is a must see anyone who enjoys eccentric tales of love. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Great acting, very good range of comedy and navigating life . Story is unique and creative. Very talented cast. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Band Aid [hits] so many right notes any false ones it might inadvertently strike are lost in a symphony of reflective magnificence I could listen to for days on end with no hesitation whatsoever. Rated: 4/4 Jun 30, 2017 Full Review Danielle White Austin Chronicle Band Aid accurately depicts the integration of sweetness and trauma that often comes with romantic attachments. Jun 22, 2017 Full Review Brent McKnight Seattle Times Full of sarcastic humor, earnest emotion and a phenomenal performance from writer/director/producer/star Zoe Lister-Jones, it hinges on the central relationship. But even with deep-rooted problems, this is a couple worth rooting for. Rated: 3/4 Jun 20, 2017 Full Review Lauren Bradshaw Fangirl Freakout Zoe Lister-Jones successfully navigates a difficult tone, making a heartfelt, musically-driven romantic dramedy, that doesn't exist in either drama or comedy for too long. Rated: B+ Nov 5, 2021 Full Review Michael J. Casey Michael J. Cinema Lister-Jones injects her characters with refreshing energy and realism. No behavior is out of place, no conclusion strained. Rated: 4/5 May 10, 2021 Full Review Leo Brady AMovieGuy.com There are plenty of adorable laughs, heartfelt moments, and the emergence of an absolute superstar, making Band Aid one of the pleasant surprises of 2017.
