Linda Holmes NPR 05/10/2024
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. Go to Full Review
Natalia Winkelman New York Times 02/14/2024
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

4/5
Young’s Upgraded employs art in a romantic comedy that also doubles as a film about business, nearly leaning into workplace drama, and I believe there is something commendable about how those ideas are offered to the audience. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
It's a romantic comedy that follows the genre's established formula, one we've seen on several occasions. It may differ in some small moments, but generally speaking, we already know what's going to happen. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Dylan A @Initial-D 3d If you're looking for a movie with a good storyline, this is not it. It's like a high budget version of the drama ad's, "Mr Kingsley of Kingsley corp",you see on YouTube. The roles and scenes all the extras play come of as unrealistic and vain. The main actors though are brilliant and actually do a good job of playing their roles. To bad like I said earlier the plot sucks considering the caliber of the actors. See more Julius S @iamjuliussano Jan 8 Upgraded (2024) is a charming, feel-good romantic comedy that blends glamour, heart, and ambition. Camila Mendes is effortlessly relatable and radiant, anchoring a story about self-worth, big dreams, and taking chances. With sparkling chemistry, stylish visuals, and a light but meaningful message, Upgraded delivers pure escapist fun. It’s not trying to reinvent the rom-com—it simply does it beautifully. See more Schaden F @schadenfreudes Dec 31 An entertaining film, just something you can enjoy when you need a comfort film. The plot is cliche, the casts are cute, the cinematography is good enough for a rom-com. See more R W Nov 20 It's closer to dumb and dumber. Plot based on lies. When I finally came to an end I was wondering why would anyone ever watch this thing, except to realize how powerful the rich are, and all the people groveling for a piece of the action! The movie tried to save itself with The little person wins ending! See more Les N Sep 15 Not weak....just.....? See more Pascal B @Shakrah Sep 11 Emily in London, Cinderella in an art gallery, all the cliches are here, faithfully put on screen. A plodding scenario does not even leave any space for genuine surprise as you can literally say the actors lines before they are uttered, spell out the next scenes and the inevitable conclusion, and even guess the cast choice. Derivative, pedestrian, formulaic, a waste of everyone's time, especially the spectator. See more Read all reviews
