ColliderTania HussainSep 17, 2023
The film is funny but also manages to be a smart comedy that feeds off its dramatic moments for a story that shines thanks to the depth of sisterly love. Read full review

Film ThreatAlan NgNov 16, 2023
Quiz Lady works because as wacky as Annie and Jennie’s adventure gets, it’s a grounded story of sisters and siblings, thanks to writer Jen D’Angelo. Director Jessica Yu brilliantly manages the overall tone of the film, shifting effortlessly between comedy and drama. Lastly, it has a cast that’s more than up for the challenge. Read full review

Screen RantMae AbdulbakiNov 3, 2023
It may not be laugh-out-loud funny at every turn, but Quiz Lady, with an irresistible cast, is entertaining with just the right amount of heart and energy. Read full review

Paste MagazineTrace SauveurNov 2, 2023
The insights are lightweight, but there’s a genial warmth to the film’s outlook that’s hard to dismiss. Quiz Lady is pure formula, but sometimes you’re reminded why that formula worked in the first place. Read full review

Quiz Lady, a mostly winning comedy directed by Jessica Yu, is elevated most of all on the shoulders of Oh’s delightful and nuanced performance. Read full review

IndieWireCharles BramescoSep 10, 2023
They mix like Fireball and water, but the odd couple nonetheless shares a sensational chemistry, building on the base amusement of seeing Oh let her extension-laden hair down and Awkwafina crimp the straight-man character into weird new shapes. Read full review

TheWrapSteve PondSep 10, 2023
Quiz Lady spends most of its time being loud, broad and silly. That’s sort of the point, but it can also wear thin when the second most heartwarming scene in the movie comes from Will Ferrell. Read full review

RogerEbert.comMarya E. GatesSep 10, 2023
While Yu doesn’t always balance the zany physical comedy and earnest family drama she aims for, and D’Angelo’s script is packed with far too many threads, the film works largely thanks to the irrepressible charm of star Sandra Oh. Read full review

New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottNov 8, 2023
In Quiz Lady, the sum total is a heartfelt but uneven shrug that probably should have been better than it is. Read full review

Screen DailyTim GriersonSep 10, 2023
The film finds an unexpected way to reach its happy ending, but ultimately Quiz Lady is a fun premise seeking a sharper execution — unlike the brilliant Anne, Yu and her cast don’t have all the answers. Read full review

The 99-minute film is long on yelling and guffaws, short on punchlines. Read full review
