The Incredible Jessica James Ratings & Reviews
Autostraddle
Carmen Phillips
This movie is surprisingly sweet, bright, and optimistic in all the right places.
Andscape
Soraya Nadia McDonald
There's a power in seeing a self-aware black woman on screen who simply proceeds through life like she hasn't been defeated by it, like she still feels she can make a difference, like she still believes that the world is hers.
The Atlantic
Sophie Gilbert
Williams, the 27-year-old former Daily Show correspondent and co-host of the podcast 2 Dope Queens, is so charming that she elevates a perfectly predictable rom-com into a blast.
New York Times
Nicole Herrington
This is Ms. Williams's movie, and she owns it.
Shadow and Act
Nella Fitzgerald
Flat-out hilarious.
Entertainment Weekly
Devan Coggan
Strouse wrote the film for Williams, and even though this is her leading lady debut, it's almost impossible to imagine any other actress or comedian bringing as much wit and charm to the title role.
Vox
Genevieve Koski
In Williams's hands, Jessica James becomes a diamond-sharp protagonist, and the only defining feature of an otherwise formless movie.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Emily Yoshida
Above all else, it's a strong argument for Jessica Williams, former Daily Show breakout, as a cinematic avatar for a certain kind of city-dwelling, creative 20-something.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
In some cases you might think, 'I've seen this all before.' Yes. You have. But not with a leading lady like Jessica Williams. She's something else entirely.
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
Sadly, The Incredible Jessica James is only isn't up to par with the tremendous talent of the former Daily Show correspondent, who still brings her keen observational comedy and wit to this Netflix romantic comedy only to have it wasted.
Village Voice
April Wolfe
Rarely, if ever, does Strouse support the budding romance with any choice that would suggest this is an amorous story.
Los Angeles Times
Kimber Myers
"The Incredible Jessica James" may feel a little too familiar as character-driven comedies go, but it adds freshness to the standard indie tropes with strong performances, fully realized characters and some truly funny moments.
Uproxx
Amy Nicholson
Jessica Williams fills up a space like the glow of a megawatt bulb. She transitions from TV to film at light-speed, glorying in the extra room.
AV Club
Katie Rife
O'Dowd and Williams play well off of each other, conveying the stages of a new relationship from awkward first date to first big fight with an easy and believable chemistry.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
The Incredible Jessica James is pretty wonky, delivering a story that's heart is big, but that's path is meandering. Still, Williams makes it sing.
Slant Magazine
Kenji Fujishima
Throughout the film, one wishes for a bit more depth regarding Jessica's professional struggles.
Slashfilm
Angie Han
Williams is taking her next big step forward, graduating to full-fledged leading lady status in The Incredible Jessica James with style and charm to spare.
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
Williams along with her burgeoning star power and ability to bring absolute charm and sparkle to every second of the film elevates it.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
Casting makes all the difference, and Williams and co-star Chris O'Dowd bounce off each other with a sparky, sarcastic chemistry.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
'Jessica James' isn't much of a movie - it's slight and underwritten, and even at 85 minutes, a lot of it feels like padding. But it does one, important thing well: it's a totally serviceable "J-Willie is a movie star" demo reel.
