Waitress Ratings & Reviews

To be clear it is only this high because of the Cake song in the middle
The New Yorker
Shauna Lyon
Shelly deftly achieves a tone pitched between fantasy and reality, its levity belying an astute and humane study of an unhappy relationship steeped in inertia.
Film.com
Mark Bourne
Waitress is not a perfectly cut, factory-line Safeway-brand slice. It does, though, serve up a generous deep-dish portion, homemade and heartfelt, that leaves a sweet taste goes down.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
This is an ensemble piece in which everyone is allowed to shine.
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
Russell is the magic ingredient that holds all this together.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Waitress deserves an essay, not just a review. There are perfect moments that stand out, and the reasons for their perfection are interesting.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
So why does it work, at least much of the time? Because of Russell, and because Shelly's uneven tone also provides hints at brilliance.
Chicago Sun-Times
Teresa Budasi
We can only take comfort in the little slice of heaven she left behind.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Waitress isn't a great film, but it is great, deep-dish fun, with a generosity of spirit that extends first to the sisters on the screen and in the audience, then to the rest of humanity.
Austin Chronicle
Marrit Ingman
The movie doesn't stand in judgment of its characters, which will probably disappoint audiences who think it ought to, but its breezy tone and ultimately affirming message should please comedy fans with an appreciation for the offbeat.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Written and directed by the late Adrienne Shelly, it's a scrumptious romantic comedy, a mostly adorable movie from a witty and winning movie talent whom we lost all too soon.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
As a gently fitting requiem for an unspeakable loss, it's perfect.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The film isn't averse to reaching for Hollywood fantasies, but there's a lot of what seems to be hard-earned wisdom here about women in bad marriages.
Arizona Republic
Kerry Lengel
As sweet as the pies that serve as its central gimmick.
Washington Post
Paul Farhi
Among the joys here are the supporting players, each with well-defined stories and quirky personalities.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
Though contrived and artificial in ways that don't always work, the film is also heartfelt and made with genuine affection for its characters, qualities in too short a supply to dismiss.
Slate
Dana Stevens
A feminist fairy tale about a woman learning to develop her creative gifts while trapped in a stifling marriage, Waitress doesn't need to be subtle or original to hit home.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
While Shelly's stylized vision and sentimental intentions don't always gel, they do result in a warm, often charming fantasy.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
A little frantic, not always sure of where it is headed, nonetheless the film is still a stupendously delicious good time full of laughter, tears, heartbreak and bittersweet chocolate covered strawberry love.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
Washed in a honeyed 1950s glow, Waitress has a mildly puckish way with outlandish baked goods and pert dialogue.
