Hustlers Reviews
Hustlers is a triumph.
| Mar 15, 2021
It's easy to get lost in the visceral joy that comes with watching women move this way.

A heist thriller-cross-social drama, Hustlers' weight is wrapped in the veneer of diamantés and stilettos, but there is real substance here.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 19, 2019
...the script and plot are dull and obvious. The attempted humour is anything but funny.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 12, 2019
The hard-boiled exchanges between the women have a genuine exuberance, recalling Hollywood movies of the 1930s where showgirls trade wisecracks backstage.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 9, 2019
As good as Lopez and her onscreen accomplice Constance Wu are, they can't act what isn't in the script; other than a dedicated work ethic, we're never given access to their thoughts.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 27, 2019
Through the peephole of Lorene Scafaria's camera, a world pirouetting on and catering to the male gratification becomes a joyous playground for women's empowerment.

So here come words we weren't necessarily expecting to write : give Jennifer Lopez the freaking Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress right now.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 20, 2019
With a refreshingly dynamic soundtrack and impressive costume design, it's fair to say that almost everything about the film works as intended
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 19, 2019
[It] understands its characters, understands its world...it's fun, and I thought Jennifer Lopez was very, very good.

Hustlers recreates the riveting crime story for a semisweet feel-good movie that's entertaining from start to finish.

Hustlers is arguably the finest performance Jennifer Lopez has ever given, and there is no way for me to be unbiased about that fact. Her performance is as magnetic as it is layered, loving and warm as it is fearsome and dangerous.
| Sep 17, 2019
Constance Wu, Mette Towley, Keke Palmer, Lili Reinhart and a cameo by ex-stripper Cardi B add magic as the women go from self-help, to self-employment, to self-infliction.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 17, 2019
Jennifer Lopez [is] just absolutely astounding in every single way.
| Sep 16, 2019
Lopez is captivating with all the right moves, and there's not a bad performance in the house, albeit most feel smaller.
| Sep 16, 2019
It's meant as a compliment when strong females are called ballsy, but it would be truer to say that J-Lo's extraordinary creation is vagina-y.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 16, 2019
Hustlers is a classically made film about capital - sexual, social and financial.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 14, 2019
A lean, fierce take on the nature of female empowerment in an inherently corrupted world.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 14, 2019
This is a deeply feminist film, one where men are given less screen time than the cameoing Cardi B and Lizzo.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 13, 2019
