Claudia Puig FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) A predictable rom-com, but it was the smaller moments that made it for me. Jun 28, 2023 Full Review Peter Rainer FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) A pretty middling rom-com... I didn't find any real chemistry between the two of them. Jun 28, 2023 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times The Perfect Find is a strong showcase for Union, who gets to play a lot of notes as Jenna: funny, sexy, anxious, nostalgic, inspired. Jun 27, 2023 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) Along with the lovely old school romantic comedy plotting, there is some rich film history texture. Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Ruth Maramis FlixChatter Film Blog Charm and wit shall always be fashionable, two things lacking in this stylish rom-com. Gina Torres and Gabrielle Union are terrific, but they deserve a more compelling script. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Lauren Veneziani DC Film Girl Gabrielle Union is wonderful in this romantic comedy about a woman falling in love for a younger man.

Irina B Great performances, chemistry, and costumes. The script provides an earnest examination of a relationship between an older woman and a younger man. Well known actors are definitely worth a watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Daniel A Unreal bond, I dislike the 20year old granny line. So much unreal moments Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Fátima L Akward, not funny at all. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Keith W This romantic film is truly captivating, with the lead characters displaying a deeply intense and believable connection. The dynamic within the entire cast adds to the film's charm, making it a satisfying watch. The script is skillfully crafted, reflecting authentic everyday conversations. While it may not quite reach the heights of "Love Jones," it certainly comes close. Gabrielle Union delivers a standout performance, showcasing her impressive acting skills. Kudos to both the actors and the writers for creating such a resonant piece. Gabrielle Union, in particular, always connects deeply with roles like this, proving her exceptional talent. Special mention goes to the young male lead, whose performance is remarkably engaging and gave me goosebumps, a fresh face with an impressive portrayal. The women in the cast, whose careers I've followed and admired, also deliver memorable performances in this ensemble. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Raymond S vast backdrop of New York City. The portrayal of love felt genuine, characterized by realistic and relatable characters. The film's fashion was exceptionally crafted, adding to the allure and genuineness of the predominantly melanated cast. The movie excels in presenting a love story that is both beautiful and unfiltered, a rare combination. From the start, I found myself invested in the characters' journey. The film breathes new life into the often bleak "older woman-younger man" narrative, delivering a refreshing perspective that captivates with each twist and turn of the plot. A job well done! This is a film I am eager to watch again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Kalu L A 20 years boy falling in love with a granny... Disturbed mentality accept such things. 🤮🤮 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
