Obvious Child - Reviews

...ace in the hole is Slate, the one-season SNL alum who’s made a small-screen career out of stealing scenes in tiny roles. Slate has basically mastered the art of playing bubble-headed princesses...

Watching all of these people listen, talk, behave, react, think, work stuff out…that's the genius of Obvious Child, that's the strength and beauty of its unique wavelength.

Sharp, funny and feeling, this isn't just Juno-meets-Girls but a smart film that tackles real-life issues with rare frankness.

Brooklyn standup Jenny Slate shines in Gillian Robespierre's sly and thoughtful treatise on female choice.

Why aren’t more studio films this clever and winning and conversant in the same language as their audience?

...a glorious jumping bean comedy that moves from the profane to the poignant in the blink of an eye.

...Robespierre's admirably forthright romcom remains good-natured as it flies the flag for a woman's right to choose, painting each of its characters in impressively complex hues...

...Jenny Slate er intet andet end uimodståelig i al sin pinlighed.

Dess berättande är rappt, oerhört effektivt och med ynka 84 minuter till förfogande lyckas den både underhålla och upplysa på samma gång. Sen är den också ett angeläget inlägg i en oerhört viktig debatt, vilket också höjer dess värde.
