The critical consensus

Regina Hall is remarkable in this smart, surprisingly feminist drama from Andrew Bujalski.

****(*)Nikki Baughan, The List, 24/06/2019

A scrappy but soulful delight. Regina Hall brings everything to this nuanced and loving portrait of working women whose stories seldom make their way into the foreground of film.

****(*)Beth Webb, Empire Online, 24/06/2019

The Hooters-style bar setting of Andrew Bujalski's Support the Girls and its double entendre title prove a misdirect; this is an empathetic, refreshingly incisive portrait of women at work that's as funny as it is generous.

*****Kelli Weston, The Skinny, 25/06/2019

A neorealist take on our capitalist times, reaffirming the essential need for camaraderie every day of the working week.

Manuela Lazic, Little White Lies, 27/06/2019

A compassionate portrait of American womanhood, set in a fictional ‘breastaurant’.

****(*)Clarisse Loughrey, The Independent, 27/06/2019

Support the Girls is a shrewdly observed, day-in-the-life-style portrait of a woman under pressure. It’s way too early to be thinking about awards season, but Regina Hall could be in line for some silverware.

****(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 28/06/2019

Andrew Bujalski’s day in the life of a sports bar is a nuanced, episodic tale of female solidarity.

****(*)Wendy Ide, The Observer, 30/06/2019
