Robinson’s fairly charming as the love interest, but it’s Deutch who makes the film work. Go to Full Review

Zoey Deutch adds much needed spark and sass to a tearjerker that’s become a Netflix streaming sensation even when it overloads on sugarbun cringe Go to Full Review

3/5
Grief and romance coalesce in this modern riff of You've Got Mail. Zoey Deutch seems to be this generation's Meg Ryan, but the movie still can't hold a candle to Nora Ephron's timeless classic. Go to Full Review

Leah McKendrick was inspired by the love she has for her own sister in telling this story. She has a solid foundation and vision for her film. It’s not just an easy rom-com but also a meditation on death, grief and moving on. Go to Full Review

Voicemails for Isabelle manages to weave its seemingly disparate plots together coherently and plays to its strengths with good chemistry and strong performances from Deutch, Robinson, and especially Bravo. Go to Full Review

Brian H @RT31446780 2 days ago I will watch anything with Zoey and she did not fail in this one! ❤️ See more Cecile D @CeceDE 2 days ago This was so good. It made me laugh, cry. The acting was great. Storyline good. Loved it! See more J T @Latinalove 5 days ago Entertaining enough. I thought the premise was interesting, but the idea of not needing a man was beat over the head and beta'd the guy. See more Nina H @RT88692823 Sep 18, 2026 Finally a movie that makes you smile, laugh and cry. I absolutely love this movie and the casting is amazing👌 I hope female directors can make more of these kind of movies in the future!! See more Lil L @RT17448102 Sep 17, 2026 Great flick, worth watching. See more Ricardo S @RT02413523 Sep 15, 2026 Once again, not knowing what to expect besides the plot and the seaching for something to watch. Few minutes in and I was sure this would be something to remember and keep, the beauty and heartfelt in it was amazing but after 13 minuttes the illusion have cumble. That is when I have stop to write this review. The bond between the sisters should have last more, long enough until the half of the movie since is what actually makes this film fell like is something . That is the thing and flaw in this film, they have rush it and focus more in the love male and female aspect not given the proper time and value in other type profund love. The essence in this film is basically the 13 minutes or with the director cut to 17 minutes the 3 stars are only for those few minutes . The rest of the film is crap, like many this days .
