Juanita Reviews
Women's Voices for Change
Alexandra MacAaron
The radiant Alfre Woodard stars as a woman who is fed up - with her unemployed grown children, dreary job at a nursing home, non-existent love life. She finally stands up for herself, forging unlikely new friendships in a new community.
Reel Honest Reviews
Pamela Powell
It's a funny, sweet love story that has subtle undertones about life, social issues, and race without being heavy-handed.
Common Sense Media
Renee Schonfeld
Alfre Woodard saves formulaic tale; cursing, drinking.
RogerEbert.com
Monica Castillo
The only thing keeping this movie from completely driving off the road is Alfre Woodard.
The Young Folks
Brian Thompson
An ideal get for Netflix, Juanita is a cozy romp that goes down easy and is best experienced on the couch, a glass of wine in tow.
Black Girl Nerds
Jamie Broadnax
Juanita is filled with humor, love, and liberation - it's a bright shiny gem among today's crop of rom-coms.
Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
Charles Koplinski
Woodard is wonderful and Adam Beach portrays Native American Indian Jess, a local chef, with great authenticity.
Chicago Reader
Kathleen Sachs
I''m thankful that I took a chance on it. With plenty to discover, I'm already eager to continue exploring worlds to which I wouldn't otherwise be privy.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
Very middle of the road movie... Alfred Woodard is very good in it.
Shadow and Act
Nadine Matthews
Mothers in American cinema are either deified or demonized," something Juanita successfully avoids doing.
TV Guide
Jordan Hoffman
Alfre Woodard is a gem, even if the movie isn't.
Hollywood Reporter
Beandrea July
If the main takeaway from Juanita is that it exposes us to a variety of characters we're not used to seeing interact with each other in places that are also just as rare, it's a breezy watch that could pair nicely with a tall glass of wine one evening.
New York Times
Candice Frederick
Although "Juanita" teeters off track a bit with the chef's half-baked back story, it soars when it allows its lead to explore the complexities of love and unbridled joy. And Woodard completely owns it.
People's World
Chauncey K. Robinson
Juanita, with subtle lighthearted charm, mixes drama and laughter to tell a story of a Black woman who prioritizes self-care in order to not be eaten alive by the rat race of life.
Decider
Joel Keller
Stream it for Alfre Woodard's performance, but prepare yourself to wonder just what kind of movie you watched when its over.
