Poms Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Claudia Puig
These women deserve so much better... It feels forced and problematic.
Newshub (NZ)
Kate Rodger
Inoffensive and well-meaning, the performances elevate it but don't entirely save it.
Chicago Reader
Leah Pickett
Director Zara Hayes, to her credit, mixes some dark humor and blistering social commentary into this otherwise frothy cocktail of pratfalls and platitudes.
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
Why worry about dying when you can spend your time dancing? Although "Poms" is an imperfect package, one can't help but take the message to heart.
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
There's a reductive and bland "women be worrying about their appearance" arithmetic happening. And it does a real disservice to the almost heartbreakingly game actors struggling to bring this thing to life.
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
The main cast does far better than the script in conveying both a sense of sisterhood, and the exquisite poignancy of the friendships that bloom as the end of life approaches.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Look, films need conflict, otherwise there's nothing for the characters to do. "Poms" never comes up with anything worthwhile to fight against, let alone cheer.
NPR
Ella Taylor
Even by the elastic standards of mass-market escapist trifles the creators of POMS might consider the challenges of growing old and confronting death without infantilizing both characters and audience.
Culturess
Kristen Lopez
Poms isn't going for any awards, but its rah-rah spirit is in the right place.
Observer
Rex Reed
It's all as predictable as it is preposterous.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
I can't necessarily recommend the movie, and yet I'm rooting for it this weekend.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
"Poms" is an embarrassment.
IndieWire
Jude Dry
The first narrative feature from documentarian Zara Hayes, who wrote the script with Shane Atkinson, making his feature debut. Neither have much background in comedy, and it shows.
TheWrap
Monica Castillo
It's uneven at times and hits a few too many clichés for my taste, but if my preview audience was any indication, the movie's still pretty effective.
Associated Press
Lindsey Bahr
It's fine to make a film that's just supposed to make an audience smile (hello, "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again") but this film doesn't even get close to that level of joy.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
An uncomfortable blend of sickness and silliness, this dancing-past-the-graveyard comedy suggests that the many travails of aging can be endured if you only gather enough friends and surrender enough dignity.
AV Club
Allison Shoemaker
Weaver and Keaton sometimes manage to tease out the movie inside the movie, the one drawn to the connections between death and joy, youthfulness and mortality. Mostly, though, Poms just wants you to cheer.
Variety
Courtney Howard
The blueprint for a genuinely inspired, warm-hearted dramedy is indeed there, it's just that the filmmakers can't figure out how to properly utilize what they have.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Like a busy teenager who barely acknowledges her grandparents, this movie doesn't seem to realize what treasures it has.
The Hollywood Reporter
Beandrea July
It lands as voyeuristic condescension and flattens the presumably full lives of women elders into hollow inspiration fodder.
