Quiz Lady Reviews
It was really sweet but slight. A nice, pleasant diversion.

There’s a smart casting twist to this modestly enjoyable comedy about a pair of mismatched sisters thrown back together.
| Nov 28, 2023
This slapstick light entertainment works because of the zingers in the script and the fine performances of all of the well-cast actors.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 17, 2023
The two actresses make it easy to watch: the sisters’ bond is quite sweet. But the film’s bland humour probably won’t have a big place in the world’s collective memory.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 6, 2023
A very silly movie, which you may sometimes need more than you actually want.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 5, 2023
It is clear that both of them had a blast making this outrageous comedy, which makes it all the more fun for us.
| Original Score: B+ | Nov 2, 2023
Good premise, bumpy ride.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 2, 2023
Like so many road trip buddy comedies, the effectiveness of the enterprise rests, arguably more than the writing or direction itself, on the balance and chemistry between the central duo.

This isn’t highbrow comedy, but it is effective at being both funny and sincere, as the rowdy quiz-show scheme serves to bring the sisters together.

While the film wobbles along the way, when they get to the third act, it's game on for good times.

Quiz Lady is a mixed bag, but entertaining.

You watch Awkwafina in these sequences and think ah, yes, this must have been what it was like to see Michelangelo approach a block of marble.
| Original Score: 8.4/10 | Sep 14, 2023
Quiz Lady is a film that wears its silly contrivances and heart proudly. It may not be consistently funny — the jokes start to feel one-note by the end — but fine performances from its stacked cast will make it an appealing Friday night option...

While Yu doesn’t always balance the zany physical comedy and earnest family drama she aims for, and D’Angelo’s script is packed with far too many threads, the film works largely thanks to the irrepressible charm of star Sandra Oh.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 11, 2023
Ultimately Quiz Lady is a fun premise seeking a sharper execution — unlike the brilliant Anne, Yu and her cast don’t have all the answers.
| Sep 11, 2023
The odd couple... shares a sensational chemistry, building on the base amusement of seeing Oh let her extension-laden hair down and Awkwafina crimp the straight-man character into weird new shapes.
| Original Score: B- | Sep 11, 2023
This isn’t an awards movie and it’s hardly on a level with the best comic films to debut at this year’s fall festivals, but it may well go down easy when it hits the streamers.
