What to Know

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. Apr 9, 2020 Full Review 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 Sep 7, 2018 Full Review 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 Jul 19, 2018 Full Review Jesse Hassenger SportsAlcohol 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 Feb 5, 2021 Full Review David Bax Battleship Pretension ...completely forgotten about in a few minutes... Dec 10, 2020 Full Review Matt Cipolla 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 Jul 24, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Sean M Held my attention the whole way through. Great performance by the lead actress. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/23 Full Review Brodie M Pointless….spend an hour with your dog instead. If you don't have one, get one Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review l g first watch tonight. can't say when a second watch is coming. not saying it wasn't good. it was. recommend Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review sway i If you get it, you really, really fucking get it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review jean h 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.... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
