3/5

Robinson’s fairly charming as the love interest, but it’s Deutch who makes the film work.

2.5/4

Zoey Deutch adds much needed spark and sass to a tearjerker that’s become a Netflix streaming sensation even when it overloads on sugarbun cringe

The easy chemistry of the romantic leads allows you to revel in the comfort of their love story, while the relationship between the sisters provides a unique access point for something more.

Voicemails for Isabelle recycles much of the romantic comedy instruction manual but finds pleasure in the speed with which it executes its familiar tropes and in two actors who are a joy to accompany. [Full review in Spanish]

3/5

Grief and romance coalesce in this modern riff of You've Got Mail. Zoey Deutch seems to be this generation's Meg Ryan, but the movie still can't hold a candle to Nora Ephron's timeless classic.

This was pretty good and much more confident and well performed than a typical Netflix streaming release. It just has a brutal last 40 minutes, they had to stick to the romantic comedy breakup and get back together formula but with no regard whether it made sense with any of the characters or story.

This was so unexpectedly good. It didn’t cross over into too cheesy, the main characters were a joy, it was cliche but not cliche at the same time. Soundtrack excellent.

Entertaining enough. I thought the premise was interesting, but the idea of not needing a man was beat over the head and beta'd the guy.
