Jourdain Searles Bitch Media All the while, Molly doesn't grow much at all. Her dream job simply falls in her lap, forgoing the possibly compelling journey that it would take to get it in the real world. Mar 15, 2021 Full Review Angie Han Mashable Like the romcoms it's modeled after, Late Night offers an escape into a world with softer edges, brighter colors, and simpler solutions Dec 6, 2019 Full Review Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I liked it, but I wanted to love it... It's almost like it pulls its punches here and there -- I wanted more bite from it. Oct 1, 2019 Full Review Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) Much of the plot points are easy to predict, and it doesn’t go quite as far as I think it could’ve concerning its themes. But the commentary it does offer is as refreshing as it is intelligently thought out. Rated: 3/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Aaron Charles InSession Film This film is well-written, overall. Kaling does a fantastic job... Rated: A- May 10, 2024 Full Review Serena Seghedoni Loud and Clear Reviews Kaling and Thompson excel in Late Night, an excellently written, brilliantly acted film that will entertain you, empower you, and make you wiser.

Jeffrey W Horribly boring and unfunny. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/05/22 Full Review Elaine DiStasi Loved Emma THomson...good one Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/19/19 Full Review Bernice W I loved the evolution of Emma and Mindy's relationship. Well done! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/11/19 Full Review Beverley Emma Thompson was excellent. Great performance. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/23/19 Full Review Suzanne Great storyline and lots of laughs. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/19 Full Review Andrea S Even Emma Thompson's dependable star quality (and John Lithgow's quite lovely performance in a small role) could not lift this movie out of the "enjoyable enough if you want to pass some time" category. There was a lot of unrealized potential here with the plot that never really materialized. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/19/19 Full Review Read all reviews
