...one of the strangest movies ever made...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 22, 2021

Oddball and bizarre engulf everything that describes Hosking's vision but there is just something that leaves you highly annoyed but thoroughly entertained simultaneously.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 27, 2020

An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn appeals to a very specific set of fans of a very specific genre, and those fans are bound to love it. Everyone else likely won't get the joke.

| Original Score: 5/10 | May 15, 2019

Not just one of the least funny films that I have ever seen that considers itself to be a comedy, it is one where I am at a total loss as to explain how any of it ever could have possibly been funny in the first place.

| Feb 8, 2019

The visual and physical humor is when the film is at its funniest, especially when it's accompanied by the deadpan, monotone line delivery.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 21, 2018

AN EVENING WITH BEVERLY LUFF LINN is an odd gem of a film that can be hard to digest, but at its core, it's a film about infatuation versus true love.

| Original Score: B | Dec 7, 2018

It's a polarizing film that some like myself will love and find to be brilliantly funny and others will just find it too weird and annoying to get on board with.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Nov 20, 2018

There are going to be plenty of people who just won't get Beverly Luff Linn, but fans of offbeat humour and absurdist surreal performances will lap it up. You'll end up wanting to watch it straight after to catch all the gags you missed the first time.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 5, 2018

Tries to make a virtue out of extreme silliness and disjointed, oh-so-random plot points, but the end result is a desperately tiresome viewing experience... At every moment, the film seems designed to be maximally annoying.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 30, 2018

An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn is a wearying American comedy of grotesques that involves a lot of shouting, over-acting and Jemaine Clement looking and sounding like an Antipodean David Walliams.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 29, 2018

The awkwardness extends even into the production design... there's a magazine called Horse Fun... this film is just a complete act of world building.

| Oct 26, 2018

As a comedy, it's just saggy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 26, 2018

At nearly two hours, "An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn" grossly overstays its welcome, but the Hail Mary ending proves it to be a rather sweet and tender story about love lost and found in the unlikeliest of places.

| Oct 25, 2018

It shouldn't work, yet miraculously most of it does.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 24, 2018

An empty facsimile of quirk.

| Oct 23, 2018

In practice, unfortunately, the film is so intent on creating a WTF universe that the characters register as little more than crude outlines.

| Oct 22, 2018

It's not often that Aubrey Plaza appears in a movie without being its most deadpan performer, but she's surrounded by stony-faced competition in this comedy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 22, 2018

Plaza and Clement are especially adept at finding the yearning souls of their characters, something that perhaps isn't in the script.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 22, 2018

Some will find this impenetrable and irritating, but audiences willing to tune into Hosking's off-kilter style will be moved by the ridiculous love stories and relish the hilarious eccentricity.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 22, 2018

Plaza occupies Hosking's deadpan surreal world like she's born to it, though Clement banks the biggest laughs with his pathetic bids to impress: his monologue about childhood bowel movements and candy is a hapless delight.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 22, 2018
