Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times ... there's much truth and food for thought contained within even the most over-the-top moments. Rated: 3/4 Jan 26, 2019 Full Review April Wolfe TheWrap It's nice to see Palka embracing the messiness of feminist theses as she progresses in her career, and if she continues delivering a movie a year, someday we'll likely be able to examine the full life of a woman through the entirety of her body of work. Jan 17, 2019 Full Review Kimber Myers The Playlist Its ultimate sympathy for these women may be at odds with earlier jabs at them, but it creates an empathetic space that is surprisingly emotionally satisfying. Rated: B May 9, 2018 Full Review Brigid Presecky FF2 Media The highlights of Egg come when that odd, uncomfortable formality fades away and Karen and Tina speak openly to each other as only old friends can, for better or worse. Rated: 4/5 Aug 19, 2019 Full Review Andrew Collins Radio Times Mickenberg's dialogue is sharp and provocative... and Camp's arrival throws a surprise spanner into the works. Rated: 3/5 Apr 29, 2019 Full Review Alexandra MacAaron Women's Voices for Change "Egg" is a film that will likely be appreciated by women more than men. (Not that the reverse ever stopped Hollywood from making a movie.) The entire film centers around women's choices and changing identities. Rated: 8/10 Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Phillip E Lots of talking. Not much anything else. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review Audience Member LOL, the funniest pregnancy comedy movie ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member One of THE worst movies I've ever seen. Film tried to appear nuanced, but the overall message falls flat. Most definitely not a comedy, nor a feminist film. I think those who say they love it are only pretending. It seems like a film for pretentious, holier-than-thou people. Wish I could get two hours of my life back. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This is an unremarkable artsy fartsy film trying to hard to make a statement. Some parts are overly scripted and cringe worthy. This is just another film that does nothing more than tries to make their audience feeling negative. Why? Just why? Rotten Tomato's is suppose to help audience make informed movie choices, but this goes to show how out of touch some critics are with what the public interprets as good. Are the masses wrong, or perhaps the critics need to recalibrate a bit? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Simply horrible, one of the most boring movies i've ever seen. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Egg was supposed to fight the patriarchial norms of women having babies, but I found the movie extensively pro-life and antagonizing a female character who chose abortion over having a child. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
