All Critics (16) | Top Critics (13) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (7)

The film is mesmerising for the first hour or so.

Sight & Sound
Elliptical, authentic, and with a strong palate of visual flair, Miss Lovely can be a confusing concoction at times, but it is never boring.

Josh Kupecki
Austin Chronicle
An atmospheric tragedy set in the sordid world of Bombay's exploitation-film industry during the late 1980s.

Alissa Simon
Variety
Though not pretentious, [the] film feels a tad overthought, held back somehow by a stubborn, dour obscurity clouding its freshly realized, lurid milieu.

For the price of a cheap pleasure like a movie, Miss Lovely is worth every penny.

Movie Mezzanine
"Miss Lovely" does exude an air of authenticity... But much of the film remains underdeveloped.

Martin Tsai
Los Angeles Times
An indictment of exploitation while at the same time reveling in it, ... a paean to analog movie-making in a time when the world is going digital.

Pat Padua
Spectrum Culture
An idiosyncratically self-reflexive piece of cinematic art.
