The picture is frisky and casual; it doesn’t try to be something it’s not.

The anachronistic, snarky dialogue misses as often as it hits. Romeo (Allen) emerges as a cad; Juliet is reduced to a twit.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 15, 2022

This is really charming, funny, and clever. I laughed and smiled the whole way through.

| Oct 15, 2022

Witty and eminently watchable, this Shakespearean remix benefits from a fabulously droll Kaitlyn Dever performance and a winning sense of silliness.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 14, 2022

Rosaline is a breezy movie that charms in large part because Kaitlyn Dever is such a talent.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 14, 2022

The result is a welcome starring showcase for Kaitlyn Dever more likely to prosper in the hamlet of Hulu than it would have fared in the province of theaters.

| Oct 14, 2022

It allows itself to have fun, but it doesn’t accomplish much else.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 14, 2022

Even with the Gen Z-friendly touches — and Dever delivering a winning performance — “Rosaline” still feels frustratingly stale.

| Oct 14, 2022

The main draw... is Dever’s delivery of Rosaline as a young woman who’s trying to figure out where she stands.

| Oct 13, 2022

It’s a clever enough gimmick. But in playing out the reverie, the movie epitomizes a du jour Hollywood adaptation style that’s nothing short of agonizing, planting one foot in the source material and the other in a cheeky 21st-century sensibility.

| Oct 13, 2022

Reminds us that even minor characters in our stories can have value and agency, that exploring other perspectives can increase our understanding and empathy, and that it can be a lot of fun.

| Original Score: B+ | Oct 12, 2022

Kaitlyn Dever lends her droll charisma and winsome comic timing to a safe yet delightful tale that nods to Shakespeare, Jane Austen and ’90s rom-coms in equal measure.

| Oct 12, 2022

Crafting a comedy from the perspective of the Bard’s minor characters isn’t exactly new, but the innovative idea is reinvigorated with witty dialogue, a solid ensemble and astute direction.

| Original Score: B+ | Oct 12, 2022

Brisk and playful.

| Oct 12, 2022

One part coming-of-age tale, one part literary reconsideration, and all totally fun, “Rosaline” proves there’s still plenty to mine from the classic canon, with lively twists.

| Original Score: B | Oct 11, 2022

I can’t say Rosaline will enter the canon of previous Shakespeare modernizations turned classics unto themselves, but it does have what so many love stories past and present lack: a hearty, swift dose of fun.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 11, 2022
