Language Lessons Ratings & Reviews
Fox 10 Phoenix
Allison Shoemaker
The odd contrivance here and there can't diminish the potency of this deeply empathetic, entirely platonic rom-com.
AWFJ.org
Leslie Combemale
Every viewer will recognize something of their own friendships in the journey Adam and Cariño take together.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The melodramatic final act leaves us with contrived plot revelations.
RogerEbert.com
Roxana Hadadi
Language Lessons is an alternately comforting and challenging watch ... making plain the winsome appeal of films about platonic love.
Fat Guys at the Movies
Kevin Carr
It was sweet. I thought it's heart's in the right place. It has enough darkness to it to make it real but not so much that it's punishing.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
It's charming, they have incredible chemistry with each other... It's [also] a really inventive way to use the technology to get to the heart of what can be good and what can be bad about [the technology].
FilmWeek (LAist)
Peter Rainer
It's really terrific.
TheWrap
Yolanda Machado
A warm, lovely film about platonic affection and the human need for connection.
Los Angeles Times
Carlos Aguilar
A delightfully poignant and intelligently openhearted experience...
AV Club
Katie Rife
If a digitally mediated future is inevitable, we can only hope that it will produce more thoughtful, open-hearted stories like this one.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The harder the movie leans into its own cleverness, the more it exposes itself as a diverting but ultimately unconvincing exercise.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
As a performer, Morales is laughably smart, sympathetic, and engaging, and what's so clever about "Language Lessons" is the deployment of that allure.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
The ending is forced but "Language" captures the nuances of a complex friendship.
Austin Chronicle
Selome Hailu
The film gets heavy handed about it's premise sometimes, exaggerating the online-ness of it all with artificial glitches and voice modulations, but beyond that Language Lessons is gorgeously, uncomfortably real.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Todd McCarthy
This exceedingly modest tale of a Spanish-language instructor and pupil who meet online becomes more genially engaging as it goes along, although it never aims very high other than as a technical experiment that more or less succeeds.
AWFJ.org
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
Language Lessons reduces me to monosyllables; it is just pure and good and hard and kind and - ultimately - just so, so, so real.
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
Zoom fatigue may be real, but "Language Lessons" ventures to show how true connection can come at any time, and through any medium, barriers be damned.
Slant Magazine
David Robb
Had the film trusted its self-imposed minimalism a little more, it might have been a lot more successful as a character study.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Films explicitly about the formation of friendships are rare, and Morales and Duplass have fashioned rather a perceptive one...
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
Slender but sweet.
