Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Dec 5, 2018
"Write When You Get Work" doesn't work. Not as a romance, not as a Robin Hood-tinged caper flick, not as a social commentary on racial inequity or classism, and not as a male-buddy picture. Go to Full Review Tricia Olszewski TheWrap Nov 23, 2018
With zero romance and nonsensical thrills, the only legitimate theft here is of the viewer's time. Go to Full Review Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com Nov 23, 2018
2/4
There are some interesting things going on, and some insight into New York's economic hierarchy, but the film veers off into a hard-to-believe crime heist, and, ultimately, none of it really hangs together. Go to Full Review Josh Parham Next Best Picture Jun 4, 2022
The story has a lethargic nature to it that makes it difficult to connect to the intricacies it attempts to establish, leaving quite a distance from the emotional bonds of these characters. Go to Full Review Cory Woodroof The Playlist Feb 10, 2022
C-
Write feels like a movie one of those Miramax competitors wouldve put in theaters sometime around April 1998 to counter any other random indie film trying to convince moviegoers that its the next big thing to come out of Sundance. Go to Full Review Natasha Alvar The Critical Movie Critics Mar 22, 2021
It feels all too convenient and Robin Hood-esque, almost too fantastical for a movie that has dwelled on the realness of life for the bulk of its duration. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
