A family portrait of dysfunction never goes the extra mile. There are light shadings of infidelity, coming of age, female arrested development, and lots of sex that just sits there.

Love is hard; fidelity is harder.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 29, 2021

Just NO to this kind of thing. Amateurish movies are one thing, but you start putting A-list people in...

We're fortunate to have Gillian Robespierre making movies.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 1, 2020

A real treat for fans of smart family dramedies, films that are neither "Father Knows Best" retreads, clueless dad cliches, nor mom-coping-with-womanizing-hubby sagas.

The biggest hurdle an audience might have with Landline is finding a character with whom they can enter the story, but once we get there, it's a mostly worthy ride to an uncertain but hopeful conclusion.

| May 12, 2020

Not getting along isn't the same as not caring, and Robespierre makes sure that we feel this family's deep love for one another.

| Mar 30, 2020

Timeless and refreshing, tether yourself to Landline.

| Oct 30, 2019

While Landline treads some familiar filmic territory, it does so with great performances and a heartfelt attitude.

Landline feels like a quality 온라인카지노추천 pilot for a cable-based or streaming-service family dramedy. Like its 1990s setting, the film is a throwback to an era when such content was turned into movies and not binge-watched vehicles for former big-name stars.

| Original Score: B+ | Jun 25, 2019

Robespierre and co-writer Elisabeth Holm craft an indelible portrait of the women in the Jacobs family, each at different life stages yet all struggling to feel the love with important companions.

| Apr 20, 2019

LANDLINE has a few moments of dramatic potency, but ultimately it hangs up on its potential to matter.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 30, 2019

The script is fairly pedestrian but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 11, 2019

Guys, for real: Director Gillian Robespierre is an expert at turning real life struggles into cinematic art.

Wistful nostalgia is a big part of Landline's charm. Luckily, we have [Gillian] Robespierre and [Jenny] Slate to make sure that it's brought to us with all the quirk (sometimes a bit too much), charm, and hilarity that's become their trademark.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 30, 2019

While the [film] takes the same realistic and unconventional approach to committed relationships [as Obvious Child], it also lacks the same focus and depth.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 25, 2018

Overall, Landline is a decent depiction of a fruitless family at the crossroads. However, both Robespierre and Slate do once again deliver the comical confusion at the root of feminine angst and self-doubt.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 20, 2018

In a crowded sea of male-dominated Hollywood films and paper-thin female characters, little independent gems like Landline generate even more of an electrifying spark.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Dec 20, 2018

"Landline" doesn't do much to reinvent the mold or these cliches. However, with a strong voice like Gillian Robespierre, these familiar elements [seem] fresh

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 2, 2018

A picture that is soul-bearingly honest when it's not brutally funny.

| Original Score: B- | Nov 2, 2018
