Film Threat - Bobby LePire

Jun 18, 2018

Izzy Gets The F*ck Across Town is as delightfully offbeat as the title suggests, with an engaging and heartfelt story. Smartly written with stellar acting and deft direction, this hilarious movie demands to be seen as soon as possible. Read full review

Los Angeles Times - Katie Walsh

Jun 21, 2018

Papierniak’s film is energetic, jam-packed with talent and has a likable indie throwback feel with some memorable moments. Read full review

Film Journal International - Anna Storm

Jun 21, 2018

Although uneven, both its conclusion and its hero make Izzy Gets The F*ck Across Town a journey worth taking. Read full review

Variety - Guy Lodge

Jun 21, 2018

It’s uneven practically by design, with a tone that slides all the way from kooky farce to anguished psychological study, just about held together by Mackenzie Davis’s lively, spiky turn in the lead. Read full review

IndieWire - David Ehrlich

Jun 24, 2018

An electric lead performance and a growing sense of self make it worth your while to see that Izzy gets where she’s going. Read full review

The New York Times - Ben Kenigsberg

Jun 21, 2018

Watching Izzy’s frenzied pratfalls often feels like watching a documentary of Ms. Davis — always great — running a hamster wheel that powers uninspired comic material. Read full review

TheWrap - Inkoo Kang

Jun 19, 2018

The self-serious meditations on fate and responsibility — as well as the uneven but ever-charged flare-ups between Izzy and whoever she’s talking to — recall exercises in an acting class. By the end, we understand her motivations and recent biography, but precious little about who she is as a person. Read full review

Outstanding film. Great cast and great music. Funny that the writer/director spoke at a panel tonight and finished by asking that people trudge over to Rotten Tomatoes to talk up the film. Screw that! They don't do crap for independent film. This site has always done better by the indies.

A bit Run, Lola, Run for the Los Feliz hipster set, Izzy Gets the F*ck Across Town has more depth and heart than the title and poster may indicate.

It's a rare gem: a drama with clear stakes and legitimate laughs. Especially keep an eye out for Carrie Coon to steal the show and be involved in a shockingly powerful acoustic musical number. Mackenzie Davis remains the most under-rated actor of her generation.… Expand

This movie was on the money - Mackenzie Davis is unbelievable. The writing was funny, sharp, the directing was excellent - there's a really cool lighting trick in a bathroom scene that I dug. Stylistically aggressive, not everyone's thing, I love that.

Saw it twice. Liked it even better the second time- picked up on more nuance. And when Izzy and her ex are in the bathroom and its this flashback without cutting away lit up all red... really unique and so well done. you just have to see it to get it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved it. I curse like a trucker so the title had me- and I thought it would be a good time- but then she had me. Mackenzie is damn good and even though I knew I shouldn't root for her- and would probably not be friends with her in real life- I held my breath a few times and then ooooohed when she got where she needed to be and everything got dreamy in this fancy fancy bathroom and a fancy fancy house and it was soooo pretty that I gasped for her when it all flew away from her. Ultimately I cared for her way more than I expected. Laugh harder than I expected and while there were one or two moments that didnt really land for me - the rest was super worthwhile. and ... the MUSIC!… Expand

Big fan of Riotgrrrl - Bikini Kill, etc. - and think Mac Davis captured the spirit effectively. Carrie Coon does a really nice job as her sister. Special mention of Sheldon Bailey who is incredibly good in a small part as Mac's roommate's BF.
