Plaza's not merely bored and making a joke of the outbursts; she's angry and raw and raunchy. There's a darkness to her stare that's a challenge. She's got a bit of the old school femme fatale in her, but she's arrived at the wrong time.July 14, 2017
No matter how obvious the set-up - what if men and women of the cloth were ... rude and sexy??? - the cast gives every scene just enough of a deadpan spin to sell it, at least for the first hour.July 13, 2017
True, The Little Hours is essentially a one-joke comedy - but most of the jokes under the umbrellas of that one joke are pretty damn, I mean darn, funny.July 21, 2017
The momentum peters out by the end, but by then its job is already done. "The Little Hours" is good for some big laughs.July 13, 2017

This little film is a bagatelle, and a juicy little one. Pray for it.August 23, 2017
Avoiding period language, the movie genially embraces the all-too-human pursuit of pleasure.September 01, 2017
If you're a fan of HBO's Veep or Monty Python and the Holy Grail, you'll probably appreciate this curious little gem.September 05, 2017
The Little Hours [is] a movie that seems to have been made entirely by and for Brooklyn hipsters.August 21, 2017
The Little Hours finds comedy in mundanity; its jokes, thankfully, make up for its unoriginality.July 20, 2017
Whether or not Baena does right by Boccaccio, he definitely does right by Aubrey Plaza, his girlfriend and indie comedy's reigning queen of mean.July 12, 2017
The strategy works surprisingly well. I liked a lot of writer-director Jeff Baena's picture; it may be a one-joke movie, but I've seen comedies recently that would've killed for that many.
