Entertainment Weekly
Much like the book, the plot is essentially a wisp, and Byrne is far too luminous for her sad-sack role. But Juliet still feels winning; the small, sweet grace note on a familiar melody. - 80
New York Magazine (Vulture)
It’s everything a mainstream rom-com should be but no longer is — literate, unpredictable, full of bustling tangents. - 75
The Film Stage
There is a quality to these performances and an earnestness to the filmmaking that’s more than enough to recommend. - 70
Variety
It’s a winsome screwball love story that grows on you and takes you somewhere charming. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
Juliet, Naked never truly achieves comic lift-off. Instead, it bumps around from one mild laugh, awkward encounter and bewildering decision to another without ever building up an exhilarating head of steam. - 50
Screen Daily
Rose Byrne is appealing as a sympathetic, patient person finally sensing she deserves more from her life. But for a film that critiques men’s inability to let go of childish things, this cutesy adaptation of the Nick Hornby novel feels a bit like a fantasy version of how adulthood really is. - 50
The Playlist
Sadly, even with the contributions of four screenwriters and the still underrated talents of Byrne...it simply doesn’t work. - 50
Slant Magazine
The film is loaded with inconsequential detours and questionable and inconsistent character psychology as it stumbles awkwardly to its foregone conclusion.
