What The Critics Said
All critic scores are converted to a 100-point scale. If a critic does not indicate a score, we assign a score based on the general impression given by the text of the review. Learn more...
Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
An intimate, small-scale movie in the nicest sense.
Read Full Review >Variety Lisa Nesselson
Boasts engaging characters, inventive situations and a series of satisfying punchlines that will send viewers out with a smile.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Leslie Camhi
In his film's better moments, Kollek makes us laugh at these visions while also revealing their grace and frailty.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
As usual, Thomson steers right into the heart of vulnerability, with a painfully true performance as a guarded, confused soul.
Boston Globe Jay Carr
A warmhearted, hardworking little comedy that owes a lot of its charm to its modesty.
New Times (L.A.) Luke Y. Thompson
One of those genially paced, character-driven indies, and succeeds as such very well.
New York Post Jonathan Foreman
Despite a script that occasionally calls for some embarrassingly awkward lines, Kollek's cast generally acquits itself well.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Ernest Hardy
The film's power lies in the fact that the façade is crumbling on the actress even as she clings to it. That this is not a pathetic sight is due to the grit that we glimpse through the cracks. It's Barbie, becoming human.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Curt Fields
Tries hard to be charming but succeeds only occasionally.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
There's nothing wrong with Fast Food Fast Women that a casting director and a rewrite couldn't have fixed.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Mark Caro
Kollek's fondness for whimsical plot turns adds still more random elements to a movie that at times seems edited by a blindfolded monkey.
Austin Chronicle Marrit Ingman
It's not wrong to wish these actors were working in the service of a better script or more assured direction, but it's probably also possible to simply take pleasure in their performances.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
Yet another of Israeli-born filmmaker Amos Kolleck's pointless, meandering tales of eccentric New Yorkers navigating the treacherous waters of love and survival.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle
Has a vacant, inept, why-oh-why feeling from its opening minutes and only gets worse.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold
Overly familiar, poorly cast and often annoyingly crude New York comedy that never finds its groove.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
Kollek is a fringe auteur who makes independent films the old fashioned way: no budget, static camera, a script that telegraphs its tiny, paste gem ironies.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Rita Kempley
Fast Food Fast Women is "Sex and the City" in Payless shoes. An incoherent jumble of characters and situations.
Read Full Review >The New York Times A.O. Scott
Almost creates a sense of dread as you sit watching its raft of aimless, self-absorbed neurotics clang into one another.
