There’s emotional complexity, making it work for more than just its key demo. Read full review

Ms. Johnson directs the picture with an assurance that matches that of her plucky protagonist. Read full review

This one is about 15 minutes too long. It could well have skipped the teen party at an enormous mansion and done with a less protracted misunderstanding. Other than that, it is a delightfully adorkable time. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyAug 16, 2018
A lightweight teen rom-com that isn’t likely to clear up anyone’s grasp of what the studio stands for, but it is breezy and charming enough to merit a watch contingent on reasonable expectations. Read full review

IndieWireKate ErblandAug 15, 2018
Every beat of the film might be obvious, but that doesn’t detract from the enjoyability of watching an indelible young heroine like Lara Jean figure out her own life and just maybe fall in love in the process. Read full review

VarietyPeter DebrugeSep 6, 2018
So much of the movie’s charm owes to Condor’s lead performance, which balances the character’s timidity with her lovability. Any guy would be lucky to date her, but the choice is ultimately hers. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshAug 16, 2018
Centineo is the big beating heart at the center of the somewhat reserved To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. He’s a lot like his character, bringing out the best in this love story. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Emily YoshidaAug 15, 2018
Condor is a ready-made star, and Centineo rises to meet her, the adoring, throaty lunk any introverted teen dreams of coming around and melting away her shyness. Theirs is a teenage romance I can believe in, despite its ridiculously convoluted circumstances. Read full review

Susan Johnson ensures this adaptation of the Jenny Han novel maintains a wistful, winsome view of first love, first scene to last. Read full review

The end result is pleasant but bland. Read full review

SlateInkoo KangAug 15, 2018
First-time feature writer Sofia Alvarez’s attempt to shrink Han’s lengthy, largely internal, and culturally specific story into a 97-minute movie is, simply put, a botch job. Stilted and scattered and strangely cold in its cinematography, it’s a handsomely shot whole lotta nothin’. Read full review
