Babes (2024)

"Hits you with the same surge of mixed emotions as a hug from a grubby toddler."

"There is such a light touch... you might not even clock the depth of its observations."

"The pregnancy movie you didn’t know you needed."

"The humour... emerges in small moments of absurdity."

"The comedy comes easy, but the conflict feels ill-defined."

"A charming mishmash."

"At times it feels like a reunion episode of Broad City, which is not at all a bad thing."

"Adlon’s feature directorial debut bursts with a boisterous energy from its opening moments."

"Proudly vulgar and brutally honest."

"Would be a stressful film if it wasn't such a funny one, if its leads weren't so charming, their chemistry so lived-in."

"Adlon’s film spins the corporeal realities of pregnancy into heartfelt comic gold."

"A sweet treat that may not nourish you but is enjoyable nonetheless."

"May make you squirm more than laugh."

"Ilana Glazer and Michelle Buteau are a killer comedic duo."

"It never quite lands."

"It is never very affecting -- or, more lethally, very funny."

"Hysterically funny, defiantly gross, and truly sweet."

"Ilana Glazer and Michelle Buteau elevate Pamela Adlon’s pregnancy comedy."
