Louise (Karen Gillan), a 28-year-old Brooklynite adrift in life, finds herself suddenly single and grappling with her identity as a musician. While she struggles with her underlying depression, a reckless drunken stumble lands her with a broken hip, and leads to a stint in a physical therapy ward with patients twice her age. Here, she crosses paths with Antonina (Margaret Sophie Stein), a cantankerous elderly Polish woman who speaks no English. Reluctantly, Louise takes on the role of Antonina's caregiver, a situation neither of them welcomes. As they navigate their begrudging relationship, they confront the realities of aging, forcing Louise to consider her own journey into adulthood.

Hollywood Reporter

All the pieces are there, but Late Bloomers ultimately fails to sell the film’s core relationship.

Wayne Alan Brenner

Austin Chronicle

Director Lisa Steen brings these rich characters and their struggles to life onscreen with a confident style and – yes, considering her wise, delicate handling of what could’ve been so often easily botched – grace.

Marvelous Geeks Media

It’s an honest, heartfelt exploration of existential dread, filled with beautiful performances from Karen Gillan and Małgorzata Zajączkowska (Margaret Sophie Stein).

Pam Grady

AWFJ.org

A film that is overly facile and a little sitcom-like at the start eventually finds its footing to blossom into a touching story of a young woman finding herself.

A fantastic, moving, great movie with not just heart, but a soul. I really loved this picture, the buzzwords are "heart felt" "cute" & "unexpected". And, while it is definitely all of those things, it is so much more. Bravo to the cast, the crew and the very talented director at the helm. Highly recommended, rattling around in my brain for week after I saw it. You should watch it.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
