What to Know

Critics Consensus

Led by a nuanced performance from Chelsea Peretti, Spinster offers a refreshingly three-dimensional -- and often very funny -- picture of modern single life.

It's minor, but fun. Go to Full Review
Claudia Puig FilmWeek (LAist) 08/18/2020
A very low-key but likable and nontraditional rom-com. Go to Full Review

Peretti is more successful here than the film itself. Go to Full Review
Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 01/29/2021
3.5/5
A nicely crafted, if somewhat modest, story of looking for and finding satisfaction in one own life, no matter what others say. It's about a certain kind of love, but colours outside the rom com lines to create something refreshing. Go to Full Review

6.5/10
Andrea Dorfman's Spinster is the perfect platform for Peretti's charms and humour, and offers a socially relevant take on female singlehood. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Overall Spinster is an insightful and well written indie film which highlights the overused stereotypes in the genre, featuring a brilliant debut lead from Peretti. Go to Full Review

Cody H 04/03/2024 If you like acting that resembles "giving up" with a hefty dose of "why am I here", this is a great movie. Much like her comedy, its obvious that her style is disinterested ambivalence mixed with narcolepsy. See more Josh G 10/15/2023 A akward and fun dry co.edy with little energy and heavy on the satire and light on character. It relates more to adults than you'd think might be realistic and haunting woth a splash of visual magic. See more 05/14/2022 This is one of those films you put on when you're bored at least that's what I thought but honestly I was really impressed with it. I was so happy with the ending and I really feel this is a must see from a woman's point of view. The main character is a little blasé but she is at the same time like able. See more 01/29/2022 I assumed that about 15 min into the movie that I was not going to enjoy Chelsea's character but quickly warmed up to her mundane, somewhat sarcastic humor. She's 39 and single in the movie and Ok with it... which you don't get to see in movies very often but doesn't lack a very happy ending. I really loved the movie and wish there were more like it. See more tom m 12/25/2021 Entertaining. It was nice to see a story that didn't go the predictable route, though it seemed it might. See more 07/17/2021 This is what you need in 2021. It is fresh and also funny and it takes you on a fun adventure of life's ups and downs. Good Vibes Daily See more Read all reviews
