IndieWire by Eric Kohn
Though never entirely the sum of its parts, Party Girl delivers a gentle, somber portrait of the aging process that's consistently believable precisely because not much happens.

[An] accomplished if unexceptional debut feature.

The Hollywood Reporter by Jordan Mintzer
The material doesn’t always feel fresh enough, despite the unique setting and cast of true-to-life characters.

CineVue by John Bleasdale
Party Girl may tread familiar ground but Theis-Litzemburger is utterly convincing as the self-absorbed, beguilingly unaware lead.

Variety by Charles Gant
[An] accomplished if unexceptional debut feature.

The Playlist by Jessica Kiang
It’s a heartfelt and undoubtedly well-meaning film, attempting a character study of a woman of an age and lifestyle that makes her an unusual and therefore unusually worthy subject. But Angelique’s overriding characteristic is that she is incapable of fundamental change which makes her at best a frustrating protagonist for this drama.
