IndieWireSamantha BergesonJun 22, 2023
Director Perrier (“Jezebel,” “Unprisoned”) has helmed a standout rom-com, bolstered by Union’s vision as a producer and lead star. The perfect find for those seeking a smart, sexy rom-com respite? Pretty close. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayJun 23, 2023
More than anything, The Perfect Find is a strong showcase for Union, who gets to play a lot of notes as Jenna: funny, sexy, anxious, nostalgic, inspired. Even when the movie is too plain, its star is something special. Read full review

The GuardianAndrew LawrenceJun 22, 2023
The Perfect Find is as much a tribute to Black love as it is a salute to the Roaring 20s – a fine romance to build a night in around. It meets the give-me-something-old-but-different Hollywood brief with style and wit, and takes care of anyone who might find family here. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreJun 23, 2023
Too much of what’s here is over-familiar, and the “familiar” isn’t anything anybody would get all sentimental over. Read full review

It’s as if no aspect of Perfect Find were thought through because everyone expected that, whatever happened, Gabrielle Union could be counted on to carry the movie. She almost does, but doesn’t. Read full review
