Jazzy Ratings & Reviews
Kevin Ward
July 1, 2025
When Jazzy’s best friend moves away, her world shifts, and she’s left to navigate the loneliness and change that come with growing up. Morissa Maltz’s companion piece to debut feature Unknown Country follows Jasmine Bearkiller Shangreaux reprising her role as Jazzy, perfectly capturing the ache of loss and the spark of newfound independence. Lily Gladstone returns as Tana, bringing her familiar warmth and gravitas to the screen. Gentle storytelling and a tender exploration of girlhood. Independent Spirit Award nominee.
Crooked Marquee
Kimber Myers
... The final scenes reveal exactly how special of a film writer-director Morrisa Maltz has made, and just how outsized its emotional impact is with its tale of a girlhood friendship.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Jazzy is a beautifully filmed cinematic portrait of girlhood, friendships, and learning to deal with life's unexpected events. Some viewers might be bored by this drama's meandering qualities, but the kid conversations are very authentic.
Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)
Marya E. Gates
Once again there is a shaggy, handmade feel to Maltz's film, which is likely due to her unique filmmaking style, which includes a lose outline rather than any strict scripting.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Manuel Betancourt
At times I was really taken with it and at times it was hard not to realize it was doing the same thing over and over again, but this is just what childhood is.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
It's just wonderful. It put me in the mind of Andrea Arnold's films.
MovieWeb
Julian Roman
Jazzy reminds us that every moment of wondrous youth must be treasured. Your heart will swell as childhood unfolds as it should, with friendship, love, and dawning maturity.
Screen Rant
Mary Kassel
Morissa Maltz paints a beautiful portrait of girlhood in her new feature, Jazzy, giving the large & small moments of life equal importance.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
The movie's perspective is ... fundamentally compelling. The story and characters aren't quite as much, however.
Maven's Nest
Nora Lee Mandel
More than a familiar look at young girls growing up, Matz shines a light on the particular challenges of Native American females. Filmed over six years living in Spearfish, SD, two best friends go from free joy to traditional responsibilities.
AWFJ.org
Nadine Whitney
Maltz directs Jazzy with love at its fore: Jazzy and Syriah's love for each other and Maltz's dedication to her protagonist who over the years has become family. The irrepressible spirit of Jazzy forms a uniquely charming and poetic coming of age tale.
Loud and Clear Reviews
Hayley Croke
While the film progresses to show these girls entering the next phase of growing up, it still allows them the space to regress into being silly girls with one another when they want to...Jazzy is a film about dipping your toes into the next phase of life.
TheWrap
Elizabeth Weitzman
At 80 minutes, the film is both leisurely paced and fully packed, so that when it ends we've spent the perfect amount of time with these beautiful girls.
Awards Buzz
Abe Friedtanzer
There is a dreamlike feel that persists throughout this film, and it's clear that Maltz understands the power of the camera and particularly not needing to be in control of every moment.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Valerie Complex
Maltz excels in capturing the small, seemingly insignificant moments that make childhood so magical
Variety
Tomris Laffly
Touched by a youthful spirit, this feminine coming-of-age tale (executive produced by Lily Gladstone) reinforces Maltz as a true independent and a soulful storyteller.
In Review Online
Luke Gorham
Maltz here understands the intuitive ways we know childhood to belong to a before that all we endeavor to preserve, and mostly thrives at communicating that essential romance.
The Film Stage
John Fink
Expanding the cinematic universe of her first feature The Unknown Country, Morrisa Maltz's Jazzy is a beautifully crafted portrait of childhood in South Dakota, conjuring an aesthetic that at times recalls the ethereal works of Sofia Coppola.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
Maltz takes the problems of her protagonist seriously, and so much of what makes Jazzy engrossing is how the director portrays daily events with a stirring profundity.
Next Best Picture
Sara Clements
A celebration of home and youth, Maltz, with this sequel of sorts, creates an authentic and emotionally resonant coming-of-age drama that can't be missed.
