The Little Hours Reviews

...deliciously satisfying (though it may be a turnoff to some)...

| Dec 12, 2020

The Little Hours is sure to offend the sensibilities of the most pious and Catholic of viewers, but this wasn't really a film made for them anyway.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 25, 2020

A comic gem.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 14, 2020

Unfortunately, it takes a while for the film to work its way back up to that level of hilarity.

| Jul 1, 2020

Baena's love of and respect for history wins the day, and his clearly game actors seal the deal.

| May 11, 2020

There is no way to classify the humor in this film and that's probably what makes it great. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 9, 2020

The throwback raunch-fest may not be perfect, but it gets bonus points for a high-degree of starting difficulty and for Kate Micucci. Because nothing is so broken that a little Micucci can't fix it.

| Original Score: A- | Jun 25, 2019

The Little Hours is a small delight more than a profound must-see but it does offer its share of bawdy fun, wrapped up neatly in the end.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 29, 2019

[It] doesn't deliver laughs despite the stellar comedic cast.

| Apr 16, 2019

Director Jeff Baena has set his sights on tearing 14th-century Italy a new one in a riotously funny adaptation of Giovanni Boccaccio's The Decameron.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Apr 9, 2019

The deadpan "gag" here: no one from the cast makes any attempt to hide their American accents or potty-mouthed contemporary vernacular, while the warm, burnished images of cinematographer Quyen Tran misleadingly suggest a more traditional take.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 29, 2019

The film's strength is in the contrast between its medieval setting and its contemporary sexual politics. The women are all engage in forbidden sexual activity with abandon.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 10, 2019

I can't decide if The Little Hours is a raunchy comedy about a group of nuns in the middle ages or a feminist statement about how women have always been treated like objects.

| Mar 2, 2019

The Little Hours seem less like a movie than a series of outrageous comedy sketches, with little logic or order to them.

| Original Score: D | Feb 5, 2019

The entire project feels as if it's raunchy solely for the sake of being raunchy, and I wanted so much more.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 20, 2018

THE LITTLE HOURS dares to be different in a world of filmmaking that exclaims the only way to be successful is to assimilate.

| Original Score: B | Dec 12, 2018

...a corruptible comedy that brings its satirical cynicism to the forefront in devilish fashion. Unapologetic with its indecent, wry wink at unconventional Church-related moral fragility...a bad habit for a trio of noxious nuns on the run.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 11, 2018

A stacked comedic cast aligns for Jeff Baena's The Little Hours, an unholy send-up of 14th century lust in a small-village monastery.

| Original Score: B | Nov 2, 2018

In a film where copious amounts of alcohol and Belladonna are consumed, it's the well-prepared cocktail of ennui and bawdy humor that's the most intoxicating.

| Nov 1, 2018

You have to be able to accept the film on its own terms and it won't take you long to figure out if this outrageous comedy is for you.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 31, 2018
