A Latina-led period piece? Yes!, please. Wholeheartedly appreciated the thematics covered which is a wide range of female issues. Anchored by a magnetic performance from Lorenza Izzo.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 20, 2021
The strong cast, which includes Simu Liu, Liza Weil, Stephen Bauer, but particularly Lorenza Izzo, helps carry the film over its bumpier and cliched moments.

Woman is Losers is an odd title but an impressive indie film, a tale tracing the coming-of-age of a bright young Latina in the late '60s and early '70s...

The film's theme is relevant and relatable. The story, style, characters and performances are engaging. Lissette Feliciano is a filmmaker to watch.

Women Is Losers is a "message movie" that delivers its message with refreshing spirit.
| Oct 27, 2021
More often the direct addresses feel overly didactic, seeming to prioritize changing minds over telling a story.
| Oct 19, 2021
In trying to rectify the past dismissal of women's stories, Women Is Losers presents a tired tableau of what viewers have ostensibly been missing out on due to obscured history.
| Original Score: 5.5/10 | Oct 18, 2021
A brisk and bright-toned tale of personal struggle amid political obstacles.
| Oct 18, 2021
A powerful yet remarkably entertaining film about what it means to be a woman in a society that devalues a woman's worth, contributions, and potential.
| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Oct 12, 2021
Despite the film's fantastic lead, its screenplay desperately needed confidence and boldness rather than playing into tropes that feel exhausted at this point.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 26, 2021
This is Izzo's show. Her performance breathes new life into a story we've seemingly seen countless times before, now made anew.
| Original Score: 9/10 | Apr 8, 2021
I am sure Feliciano would have a great career ahead but this is a film that will serve as a stepping stone and nothing else.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 6, 2021
"Women is Losers" - for all its good intentions - succumbs to an array of cheesy, made-for-television troupes that undermine the film's emotional heft.
| Original Score: C | Mar 28, 2021
Paints a portrait of the women's moment of the 60s & 70s, writer/director Lissette Feliciano's creatively crafted film validates those times' struggles & heartbreak. Strong performance by Lorenza Izzo.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 27, 2021
Feliciano uses creative ways to keep things from getting didactic, even staging a sassy little musical number in the Mission. It boasts a killer soundtrack too.

The straightforward narrative of Selina's path to self-sufficiency is ultimately too dutiful for sustained dramatic interest, but these raised-eyebrow asides show real sparkiness.
| Mar 25, 2021
Boasts a strong lead performance by Lorenza Izzo, but the film's political worldview isn't exactly subtle.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 24, 2021
Despite its assured style and confident direction, the narrative itself lacks the depth needed to examine these broader societal problems.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 23, 2021
