Critics Consensus

Lightly entertaining even as it hews to genre conventions, Upgraded is an appealing option for anyone seeking a good old-fashioned rom-com.

I think they set it in this very specific world of art, which, even if it's not entirely accurate, it's specific. So within its own world, it feels developed.

New York Times

The movie is unevenly directed, and some scenes struggle to clear even the low bar set by more polished streaming originals. But Young succeeds nonetheless in channeling the freshman thrill of plunging into an alluring adult milieu.

This is a story about women supporting women, especially across generations, and that’s what makes Upgraded resonate more than just a frothy rom-com would.

Rated: B+

This forgettable rom-com does nothing to excite you or make your heart flutter because there are hardly any stakes.

Rated: 2/5

Keith & the Movies

You can actually see the blueprint for a good art-world comedy and the movie certainly has the cast for it. But the wedged-in romance drags the movie down mainly because there’s nothing remotely fresh or original about it.

Rated: 2.5/5

Amazon Prime & Netflix kinda churn out these romantic comedies, sometimes they're kinda not great, but this is one of the better ones. It's helped by Marisa Tomei's & Lena Olin's fantastic performances. It can be a little predictable though.

Rated: 8/10

A modern day retelling of Cindrella. Very formulaic and predictable but refreshing given its modern day setting of the characters. Camila Mendes is very charming and interesting in her portrayal of her character.

I think we all knew Anna was going to get her own gallery, this film reminded me of ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ movie, however, I didn’t see any chemistry between Billy & Anna, and I wanted to so badly! But it just wasn’t there, which was disappointing!

I hoped the main character would use her talent, knowledge, and love for art to propel her in her career. There some but ultimately very few moments of this. She ended up succeeding by getting lucky that she met someone on a plane, and that was very disappointing. The actors were good, I always love seeing Archie Renaux, but I think the script is hard to swallow.
