Critics Consensus

Kelly & Cal is a compellingly offbeat treat for fans of character-driven drama -- and a showcase for Juliette Lewis' formidable gifts.

John Hartl Seattle Times 10/02/2014
2.5/4
The movie turns a little soapy as it tries to locate a satisfying ending, and there are too many self-conscious statements of life's little lessons, yet the passion remains. Go to Full Review Bruce Ingram Chicago Sun-Times 09/26/2014

It's difficult to be fully invested in the Big Emotional Developments of the final act. Go to Full Review Penny Walker Arizona Republic 09/25/2014
3/5
There are complex situations, well-acted characters and a central relationship that feels authentic and mature - and yet it's missing some element to bring it fully into focus. Go to Full Review Allen Almachar The MacGuffin 07/17/2020

If it weren't for Juliette Lewis' strong central performance, there wouldn't be much else here to recommend ... See it for yourself, or don't. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 09/05/2019
3/5

A film with real distribution, directed by a woman as well as written by one is a rare enough occurrence that I wish I didn't have to point out all that's wrong with Kelly & Cal. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
