Unfortunately, instead of coming across as a warm throwback, Nappily Ever After is a romantic comedy saddled with a reductive understanding of black womanhood without enough cast chemistry or beauty to distract us. Sep 24, 2018 | Full Review…

There is a strangely regressive feminism that drives Violet's journey, and almost mockingly critiques her behavior. Oct 20, 2018 | Full Review…

Sticks too closely to romantic comedy cliches without being funny and fails to tackle the real obstacle to the main character's complete empowerment. Oct 5, 2018 | Rating: 3/10 | Full Review…
