New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinApr 5, 2018
Blockers, for all its high-velocity raunch and drug abuse, is fundamentally positive. Read full review

The New York TimesManohla DargisApr 5, 2018
It features a casually diverse cast and is openly, at times dutifully, feminist, with you-go-girl speeches that sound as if everyone involved had tried too hard to be decent. Funny and enlightened would have been better. Read full review
