Reviews


91
IndieWire - Eric Kohn
Support the Girls is a humble, restrained movie, at times aimless as it moves along, but never devoid of keen observations.
91
The Film Stage - John Fink
Bujalski as a filmmaker has created a film as fascinating as anything in his previous output
91
The A.V. Club - Mike D'Angelo
Set in a tacky Hooters-style sports bar called Double Whammies, Andrew Bujalski’s delightful new comedy, Support The Girls, more than lives up to its winking/earnest double entendre of a title.
90
Variety - Amy Nicholson
Hall’s performance — tender, tough, empathetic, controlled — crumples from tears to laughter in a blink. It’s phenomenal.
90
Village Voice - Danny King
Bujalski frames most of Support the Girls as an almost real-time delineation of chaos, but his storytelling elegance — delicate, nearly invisible foreshadowing; cogent evocations of backstory — adds reflective layers to the surface anarchy.
