	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A winning ensemble brings present-day attitude to Boccaccio's irreverent sex comedy"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"[Jeff Baena] hilariously applies a contemporary sensibility to the medieval collection of bawdy tales."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Overall, it’s a perfectly satisfying snapshot of subversive comedy that delivers where it counts."	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"It’s often hysterically funny, especially when allowing its talented cast to play up to their individual strengths."	POS
United States	Noel Murray The Playlist	"Even if 'The Little Hours' never becomes a knee-slapper, it’s consistently entertaining…kind of like a laid-back, stretched-out Monty Python sketch."	NEU
United States	David Edelstein Vulture	"The movie is not camp. It’s deliciously deadpan sex farce played by some of the deftest clowns in the English-speaking world."	POS
United States	Justin Chang Los Angeles Times	"If the humor gets a bit one-joke (...) 'The Little Hours' is nonetheless a cohesive vision (...) It’s a surprisingly shrewd reflection on the age-old tension between devotion and desire."	POS
United States	Matt Singer Screen Crush	"The movie could be tighter, but it certainly has some highlights (...) The film doesn’t so much end as it stops. But it arrives at a sweetly non-judgmental message about love"	NEU
