	Media	Author	Review
		John Serba Decider	"'The Perfect Find' doesn't come close to achieving that word in its title. But sometimes, good enough can still be satisfying"
		Lisa Kennedy Variety	"[A] visually vibrant, cinema-loving, if not quite perfect, rom-com"
		Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter	"Enjoyably soapy romantic comedy"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"'The Perfect Find' falls well short of perfection, but it's the kind of low-key romance that often finds an appreciative audience on Netflix"
		Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle	"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. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Rati Pednekar The Review Geek	"A charming romance marred by a disappointing third act"
		Emma Vine Ready Steady Cut	"Though a simplistic premise, 'The Perfect Find' is an adorable exploration of love, with electrifying chemistry between Powers and Union. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Brittany Witherspoon Screen Rant	"Though 'The Perfect Find' struggles with the romance aspects of its story, the adaptation's commentary on finding love late in life is a pure delight (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Andrew Lawrence The Guardian	"There’s enough style, wit and good music to make for a satisfying night in (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Belen Edwards Mashable	"At its best, 'The Perfect Find' is a perfectly fun flick —but at its worst, it feels like a rom-com simply running through the motions"
		Samantha Bergeson IndieWire	"Gabrielle Union is pure charisma in an unexpected ode to Black cinema history"
		Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"'The Perfect Find' is, for the most part, fairly generic (...) More than anything, [it] is a strong showcase for Union, who gets to play a lot of notes as Jenna: funny, sexy, anxious, nostalgic, inspired"
		Elisabeth Vincentelli The New York Times	"It is saved by two fleet-footed leads who have mastered the two steps forward, one step back dance at the heart of romantic comedy"
