The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat

"In making sport of Minnie’s esoteric leanings while ditching the novel’s ghosts something spiritual and arguably integral to these friends and their community got muted. Still, there are moments of minor magic here. Deep friendship is among the most enchanting inventions after all" 

"The three deliver committed performances (...) They keep us invested, making us realize that The Supremes at 'Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat' is, above all else, about how friends become family" 

"Tina Mabry and Cee Marcellus do their best to capture the essence of that message in their cinematic adaptation, but the weight of this story’s collective traumas threatens to sacrifice good intention on the altar of fidelity to the source material" 

"It’s easy to get caught up in the lives and loves of the Supremes, and the warm-hearted spirit of the entire endeavor is contagious. We just wish there was a bit more time to savor it all" 

"The film unravels so quickly that it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly where this initially enjoyable film flew off the rails (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)" 

"This wisecracking, tear-jerking, deep-fried decadence is plenty satisfying if you’re in the mood to indulge" 

"[It] is all ingredients, no cooking"
