Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Slate is too pretty a face and Robespierre is too limited a writer for Obvious Child to rise above conventional romantic plotting or to make its low comedy meaningfully transgressive.
– Kate Taylor,

fresh:
Sorry, partisans, but there's nothing obvious about "Obvious Child."
– Joe Williams,
St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
26 Jun 2014
fresh:
Slate is adept with biting remarks and self-deprecation, and she balances Donna somewhere between flightiness and innocence.
– Tom Long,
Detroit News,
27 Jun 2014
fresh:
Despite a few too-cute moments, the movie is both smarter and more sympathetic than that glib shorthand.
– Leah Greenblatt,
Entertainment Weekly,
30 Sep 2014
fresh:
Robespierre's direction of the many fine actors she assembled is assured, her sense of pacing nicely loose-limbed.
