Summary: Nina Geld (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is an up-and-coming comedian in New York City.

She’s funny, smart and has worked hard to build a career for herself in the male-dominated world of stand-up. But when it comes to romantic relationships, Nina’s life is a mess.

She packs up and moves to Los Angeles, for a once in a lifetime opportunity to audition for Comedy Prime — the end all, be all of late night comedy. After killing it in Los Angeles, she meets chill contractor Rafe Hines (Common), who tempts the brash New Yorker into considering commitment.

This debut marks a bright future for Vives and is an excellent entry in the romantic comedy format that doesn’t lose sight of who its heroine is the moment she falls for someone. Read full review

While the character’s resulting journey of self-discovery may follow familiar lines, it is bracing nevertheless. Read full review

Both bleakly humorous and laugh out loud funny, the brilliant All About Nina is a powerful film about the importance of women’s voices, and the change that can come from telling your story. Read full review

while All About Nina does not add anything new to this genre, writer-director Eva Vives’ film does benefit from the female perspective. It also showcases a fearless performance from Winstead. Read full review

All About Nina works best as a showcase for Winstead, even if she’s performing material we’ve already heard before. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Mary Elizabeth Winstead made a magnificent drunk in “Smashed,” so it should be no surprise that she kills as a stand-up comic in All About Nina. Read full review

Rex Reed

The laughs are few and slow in coming, and you’re not five minutes into the film before you know why. Despite a lively performance by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Nina is a big bore with a small talent and a one-track mind. Read full review

Powerful and moving, Mary Elizabeth Winstead brings a depth of emotion and raw rage to her performance. Possibly one of the most important films of the year, we need more films shining spotlights like this one.

Go see this movie for Mary Elizabeth Winstead's performance alone. The movie is good, but she elevates it to levels beyond what must have been on the page. She deserves an Oscar for it.

I am a huge fan of Mary Elizabeth Winstead so I was looking forward to watching this when it popped up on Netflix. I am however not a fan at all of stand up "comedy" so when the film started with several minutes of an utterly disgusting stand up routine it was time to switch it off.
