Critics Consensus

The Intern doesn't do enough with its timely premise, but benefits from the unorthodox chemistry of its talented leads.

There seemed to be a lot of value placed on male approval, something Jules spent the entire film searching for, and ultimately finding in her intern.

There's something powerful in that, in the simple fact that The Intern is so sympathetic to its older character-so resolutely on the side of a person who might, in other contexts, be dismissed or ignored or, as is so often the case, invisible.

It's the kind of compulsively watchable film you'll be helpless to resist when it shows up on cable TV.

Rated: 2.5/4

Deep Focus Review

Meyers concocts a few madcap comedy situations to break up the otherwise low-key tone.

[Where] it succeeds its charm and grace, it lacks in depth. The meat of the story can be summarized in a sentence and ends up feeling somewhat superficially emotional...

Rated: 2.5/5

Although many critics panned The Intern, I believe the film has much to say, especially in a society where the elderly are often mocked or ignored just because they seem old-fashioned or have a hard time with technology...

One of the best movies I've seen in a while. Enough to get me to write my first review ever. The only 0.5 is missing because I didn't know if, bit of a spoiler here, she got buried with her best friend.

It is a heartwarming film that illustrates the value of learning from the wisdom of older generations while also emphasizing the importance of fostering one's own innovative ideas. It champions female empowerment, showcasing Jules's journey as she navigates the pressures of her professional and personal life without seeking external approval. Ultimately, "The Intern" underscores the importance of listening to one's own voice and trusting personal instincts, making it a compelling narrative about mentorship, innovation, and self-reliance.

Siempre quise ver esta película pero algo siempre me detenía, hoy finalmente logré verla completa, Anne es increíble actriz conecte con ella desde el primer momento que la vi, Robert nunca decepciona me encanta lo arriesgado del papel ya que conociendo al actor sabes de sus cualidades y a pesar de nos extraordinario el papel, te conmueve ver lo pulcro, hermoso y empatico que es, pero matt, matt es lo peor, el antagonista de esta historia, el final que esperaba de empoderamiento lo dejaron ir por miedo al éxito, perdonar una infidelidad no es un mensaje que quiero recibir, toda la película iba bien hasta que eso sucedió. Por eso para mí el final insatisfactorio totalmente.
