[The ensemble's] grounded portrayals make the stakes of The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat feel real, and the inevitable outcome seem earned; they anchor a film that might otherwise feel too wispy. Go to Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com 08/23/2024
1.5/4
The film unravels so quickly that it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly where this initially enjoyable film flew off the rails. Go to Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom 08/23/2024

The story is told told in an unabashedly heartfelt fashion with a screenplay by (under a pseudonym) Gina Prince-Bythewood and director Tina Mabry, putting the melodrama in the context of enduring, unconditional friendship over the decades. Go to Full Review Marissa Hill Shade Studios Jul 30
The film doesn’t shy away from the raw, messy realities these women face—loss, unfulfilled dreams, and the complexities of love and family. These grounded moments make the story feel authentic and relatable, resonating long after the credits roll. Go to Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) Apr 7
I wish these talented actresses were given more to do than this plodding script Go to Full Review Jeanine T. Abraham VisAbleBlackwoman (Medium) 12/21/2024
1/5
On paper, The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat should be an inspirational film that centers the Black female experience but in reality, this movie is a lazy cliche with a lot of histrionic acting, ugly costumes and horrific wigs. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

See more Felicia C @RT81346831 08/31/2024 I loved this movie! The cast is amazing. Please don't read the critic reviews. This is a good movie! See more Kristina T @TinaT 08/29/2024 I absolutely enjoyed this movie, I never write reviews, but I laughed and cried multiple times. We need more movies like this, the critics as usual got the rating wrong. 10/10 and I’m recommending to friends and family. See more P F @RT86868650 08/28/2024 Loved this movie. Especially the ending. I have watched so many movies on streaming platforms where they lack substance and an adequate ending. This movie provides closure and hope, just what is needed. Bravo to the writers, producers, director, and actors. See more Read all reviews
