It's easily one of the most humanistic and funny comedies of the summer, with a career best performance by Regina Hall.

Like the joint at its center, the movie is somewhat untidy and rough around the edges, but Bujalski's affection for the characters comes through.

"Crushing" is a good word at large for Support the Girls' approach to work, which as Bujalski sees it is equally tedious and necessary.

Bujalski has created something beautiful with bare-bones humility, humor and humanism.

It's a celebration of sisterhood...This movie is so understated that this theme sneaks up on you in ways that are quietly powerful.

It's sweet, but not syrupy; it's truthful, but not cynical. It's a breath of fresh air, accessible, and a real gem of American independent filmmaking...

The unlikely, bittersweet, bristling comedy Support the Girls is easily one of the best films of the year, and the most sympathetic to women.

You could not ask for a better image of our country right now. You could not ask for a better American film to showcase it.

As much as this is a film about work, it is also, quite frankly, a film about the ways men unknowingly, without even really trying, make women's lives harder.

Regina Hall so fully inhabits Lisa's life we hardly feel apart from her, tugged by the same frustrations, goodwill, minor satisfactions and disappointments.

This chicken-wing emporium becomes a handy metaphor for women making their way through the patriarchy in writer-director Andrew Bujalski's observant and trenchantly funny new film.
August 24, 2018
Support the Girls somehow manages to do it all, and in the form of a breezy, heartwarming workplace comedy to boot. There won't be another film like it this year.
