Band Aid [hits] so many right notes any false ones it might inadvertently strike are lost in a symphony of reflective magnificence I could listen to for days on end with no hesitation whatsoever.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 30, 2017

Band Aid accurately depicts the integration of sweetness and trauma that often comes with romantic attachments.

| Jun 22, 2017

Full of sarcastic humor, earnest emotion and a phenomenal performance from writer/director/producer/star Zoe Lister-Jones, it hinges on the central relationship. But even with deep-rooted problems, this is a couple worth rooting for.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 20, 2017

[The] glib, zinger-laden bickering is more wearisome than funny and never adds up to a believable relationship on the rocks.

| Jun 15, 2017

As a performer, Lister-Jones acquits herself well on both the comedic and melodramatic fronts. And the scruffily charming Pally comes across as a hybrid of Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 15, 2017

It's a terrific debut from Lister-Jones, on all fronts.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 15, 2017

The film too often struggles to find a balance between being searing and charming; at best, it's a notable curio, one Lister-Jones may well build on for her next feature.

| Jun 9, 2017

I wouldn't call "Band Aid" profound, but it's wiser and deeper than the average pop song, if not by much.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 8, 2017

Lister-Jones makes us believe in this couple, keeps us interested in their lives and keeps us thinking about other people like them.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 8, 2017

A clever and heartfelt comedy-drama that remains aloft as long as it retains its sense of humor; when the going gets serious, the dialogue turns therapeutic and heavy.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 8, 2017

Their career ruts, their marital disputes and their underlying mutual love all rings true, making what could have been merely a wacky high-concept premise into a relationship's genuine and deeply felt cry for help.

| Jun 2, 2017

Lister-Jones is the very definition of a 'phenom' and if the film sometimes falls back on cliché, there's enough charm and interest here--particularly in the chemistry between the two leads--to keep it afloat.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 2, 2017

A charming and profoundly affecting film that dives into the messy business of creation.

| Jun 1, 2017

You'll believe you're watching two people who love each other but no longer know how to live with each other. You may still wish Band Aid better distinguished their relationship.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 1, 2017

Both leads are excellent together, and the movie is good at showing how Anna and Ben push each other's buttons.

| Jun 1, 2017

At its best, Band Aid ... carries us along with Anna and Ben's rocky ride through mourning the loss of youth, with its absolutist faith that there's a life code to be cracked, upon which a door will swing open to blissful ever after.

| Jun 1, 2017

If Zoe Lister-Jones wrote, produced, and directed her new film, Band Aid, to finally give herself a standout role, she succeeded.

| May 31, 2017

At its most honest, the film wrestles with the reluctance or unwillingness of women to fulfill ostensibly requisite roles.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 29, 2017

A rock-tinged comedy about channeling the banal conflicts of married life into musical energy.

| Jan 30, 2017

Band Aid may be slight, a bit stagey and not too visually striking, but it's also heartfelt, funny, and straight-up enjoyable.
