Critics Consensus

Izzy Gets the F*ck Across Town has all the restless energy viewers might expect given the title, but it's only sporadically channeled into a meaningful story.

J. R. Jones

Chicago Reader

Mackenzie Davis... produced, stars, and gives an exhilarating, ultimately exhausting tour de force performance as Izzy.

Oliver Jones

Observer

Unfortunately, Izzy fritters away much of its early promise and energy on a will-they-or-won't-they romantic plot that the film simultaneously indulges in and treats with contempt.

Rated: 2.5/4

Danielle White

Austin Chronicle

It's all mighty existential and interesting, yet the introduction of this heady topic acts as prelude to a rather bizarre, if dark, comedic situation. The timing, like everything in this movie, is a little off-kilter.

Rated: 2.5/5

Some of the movie's best moments just let Davis quietly react, scanning her face for the emotion barely concealed beneath a tired, embittered version of bravado.

Rated: B

Film Monthly

If anything, Izzy Gets the F*ck Across Town gets props for one thing: It's a movie that, despite its failures, makes you curious what its writer/director will do next.

Rated: 3/5

This is some good, harmless fun. I've been a Mackenzie Davis fan since 'Halt and Catch Fire'. She's a 'hot mess' (as the kids used to say) here; or at least Izzy sure is. It's very slapdash, not at all 'meta' (thank you!), and has some genuinely funny bits. Haley Joel Osment, the wonderful Annie Potts, Alia Shawkat and Sarah Goldberg are all good. Carrie Coon not only shows again her fine acting skills, but along with Davis, she does some damn fine singing. There's the random Rob Heubel sighting, too. But Lakeith Stanfield is wasted here. Give that man a role he can chew on. Made for an easy day at the movies. 3 stars for one of those low-budget rand-os you're happy to watch once now and then.

Now THAT'S a movie. Hello, Annie Potts anyone? Hello, soundtrack, anyone? This is how it IS. Is there anyone in this movie who doesn't pull their weight? Outstanding effort, all around. First time I saw it, free on Vudu, btw, I thought, that was entertaining. So much so, that I just watched it again, months later, and it was even better the second time around. And you know what THAT means....
