Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org Chaperone is not an easy watch and it does not shy away from the often uncomfortable ethical terrain its storyline demands it explore, but it is also thoughtful and humane. Jan 22, 2024 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest “Chaperone” feels uniquely contemporary when it captures mid-twenties malaise so acutely, but also knows when to lean into a tried-and-true formula for entertainment’s sake when a couple might be right for one another in every way except for their age. Oct 6, 2024 Full Review Daniel Gorman In Review Online Rather than screwball comedy or anguished melodrama, the film allows its narrative to unfold in [a] languid, unfussy manner... It’s a lovely portrait of a particular milieu. Jan 28, 2024 Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex A young woman struggling draws our empathy, and at the same time, her decision-making creates negative consequences. It’s a complex story in that regard, and Eisenberg’s ability to both write and direct that balance is impressive. Rated: 6/10 Jan 27, 2024 Full Review Jason Delgado Film Threat Everything about Chaperone is superb, from the cast, location, writing, and directing to the cinematography. Mitzi Akaha and Laird Akeo have instant chemistry onscreen, and everyone else plays their roles perfectly. Rated: 9/10 Jan 22, 2024 Full Review Carson Timar Clapper Chaperone is a worthy piece of cinematic exploration that sees a wonderful debut for Zoe Eisenberg! Jan 21, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
