Best Sellers Ratings & Reviews
Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)
Marya E. Gates
Plaza and Caine have wonderfully acerbic chemistry together and Roessler proves herself to be not only a great actor's director, but has a great eye for composition as well.
Mr. Movie's Film Blog
Nadine Whitney
Best Sellers is a film that does little to challenge and little to offend, and therein lies its central problem. There is just a sense of missed opportunities to really dive into something with much more wit and bite.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Just a like a hack novel with a stale formula, Best Sellers is an uninspired comedy/drama that limps along until the movie's very predictable end. Michael Caine and Aubrey Plaza play mismatched characters, but their pairing as actors is also a misfire.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Michael Caine at his best as a cranky author.
My Champlain Valley
Julia Swift
Put two great actors in a room, let an actor direct and another one write and what do you get? Proof that making movies is about so much more than the acting.

Susan Granger
Poignant, cross-generational literary comedy.
What To Watch
Todd Gilchrist
If Lina Roessler's debut is undertaken with the kind of sensitivity and tenderness that suggests a connection to the material that's more than skin deep, she lacks the precision to extract greater substance from its assembly of familiar tropes.
The Michael Medved Show
Michael Medved
A clumsy effort at comedic melodrama that attempts to tug the heartstrings in a manipulative and misguided manner...
Slashfilm
Hoai-Tran Bui
In the end "Best Sellers" leaves you with the somewhat deflated feeling of "that was nice," like a good beach read rather than a life-changing tome.
Observer
Rex Reed
If there's a central message we should take home and think about, it eludes me.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[The] last-act change only confirms that ... [the filmmakers] aren't sure what to do with the original conceit.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Roessler's debut is an enjoyable diversion even though Anthony Grieco's screenplay could have been more pointed about the publishing industry.
San Francisco Chronicle
Chris Vognar
There's not much to recommend here besides Caine.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
Every single thing that happens in this time-waster is completely and predictably expected. No bookmarks needed.

Brian Orndorf
There's Caine, who becomes the highlight of "Best Sellers" due to his excellent casting, providing something emotional to a production that isn't always sure where it wants to be in terms of tonality.
Easy Reader (California)
Neely Swanson
A fun, swiftly moving small tale that benefits enormously from having the venerable Michael Caine as its center.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
Roessler receives [the actors'] best as the story shifts from easy jokes to appearances-are-deceiving profundity that does rise above its package's conventions.
Shockya.com
Harvey S. Karten
Splendid vehicles for the enormous talent of Sir Michael Caine, now in his 89th year.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
If you don't know from the beginning how the film's emotional arc is going to play out, then you just haven't seen enough mediocre movies.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Abrupt tonal transitions from jaunty comedy to cross-generational weepie occasionally come at the expense of the characters' own credibility. But it's the overarching niceness of "Best Sellers" that sees it through...
