Landline's talented cast -- and a fast-paced approach from director/co-writer Gillian Robespierre -- help this charming multi-generational dramedy overcome a familiar storyline.

"Landline," at times, feels a bit inert, that it's coasting on the novelty of '90s nostalgia without justifying that choice, and allowing those references to stand in for actual propulsive storytelling and jokes. Aug 11, 2017 | Full Review…

You can't go wrong with fine actors like Turturro and Edie Falco as the unappreciated mom. But it's Quinn as the feisty kid sister who shines. Aug 4, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Landline ultimately succumbs to a trope it eagerly tries to avoid-it ties things up with a bow. Aug 2, 2017 | Full Review…

Landline is a very funny film about people dealing with very serious situations. Better the Jacobs family than us. Jul 27, 2017 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Landline feels like a quality TV pilot for a cable-based or streaming-service family dramedy. Like its 1990s setting, the film is a throwback to an era when such content was turned into movies and not binge-watched vehicles for former big-name stars. Jun 25, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

Robespierre and co-writer Elisabeth Holm craft an indelible portrait of the women in the Jacobs family, each at different life stages yet all struggling to feel the love with important companions. Apr 20, 2019 | Full Review…

Wistful nostalgia is a big part of Landline's charm. Luckily, we have [Gillian] Robespierre and [Jenny] Slate to make sure that it's brought to us with all the quirk (sometimes a bit too much), charm, and hilarity that's become their trademark. Jan 29, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…
