Nothing wrong with performances here, but the whiney characters bugged me."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 4.5/5 "Seldom do movies create focus through spontaneity, but Lovely & Amazing feeds on surprise"   Filmcritic.com   Blake French C+ "I guess it's what they call of slice-of-life movie, not that anyone would want to order a slice of the lives depicted."   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna 2.5/4 "...intelligent and mature..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair A- "This humorous probe into the lives of four members of an unusual family hits all the right body spots."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3.5/4 "A fully-developed, superlative character study."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman A "A wonder, a quiet movie filled with subtle truths and scenes of power and authenticity."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C+ "'Lovely and Amazing,' unhappily, is neither...excessively strained and contrived."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "One of the funniest and most endearing films of the year . . . it is difficult in an appearance-obsessed culture to go against the grain and find beauty within."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "We come to like these people, warts and all."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/5 "Family portrait of need, neurosis and nervy negativity is a rare treat that shows the promise of digital filmmaking."   Netflix   James Rocchi 3/4 ""Lovely's" strength lies in its ability to stress the unremarkable and make it interesting."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth B "Movies like Lovely & Amazing are valuable because they're rare, allowing interesting scenarios for actresses that are good looking but not glamorous, sensitive but not demure."   Matinee Magazine   Jeremiah Kipp 6.5/10 "For those looking for a smartly written character study featuring solid performances, you could do far, far worse than what this film offers."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 4/5 "All of us wish we could feel we are lovely & amazing, if only to one person. It's about this wish, and about how we prevent it as well."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery B+ "Holofcener has a terrific ability to conjure breathing characters out of the quirks and ticks of human foibles"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "A refreshing reminder that not every movie about women must be a hollow, empty, self-indulgent 'chick flick.'"   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 2.5/4 "Click to read review"   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 4.5/5 "I can't think of a bad scene in the entire film."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. C+ "Another one of those estrogen overdose movies like "Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood," except that the writing, acting and character development are a lot better."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B- "The feminine tone of “Lovely & Amazing” is not going to draw droves of guys, except to make points on a date."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3/4 "Covering the bases, however, is not the same as offering new insights into fairly well-traveled psychosexual through-lines."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw A- Read review   EricDSnider.com   Eric D.
