Afternoon Delight's uncertain tone is entertainingly offset by smart dialogue and standout starring work from Kathryn Hahn.

I want to see more movies like this, by more women, with more women. That would be delightful. Go to Full Review Claudia Puig The Asahi Shimbun GLOBE (Japan) 02/02/2017
2.5/4
As a first film, Afternoon Delight is worth exploring -- perhaps mostly to see what film Soloway does next. Go to Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) 03/30/2014
3/5
Relaxed, intuitive performances from the top-notch ensemble cast pay dividends, with Hahn commandingly stressy in the central role, and Michaela Watkins impressively abrasive as neighbourhood organiser-in-chief. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 09/01/2020
2.5/4.0
It is worth seeing almost solely for Kathryn Hahn's conflicted yet luminous performance. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 08/22/2019
A sometimes successfully coordinated comedic vehicle that finally gives Kathryn Hahn a worthy leading role. Go to Full Review Stephen O'Nion One Room With A View 06/17/2019
3/5
A little film with little to say - but what it does, it does with a refreshing conviction and winning performances. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

James B @RT54975811 Sep 28 This was a pretty wild ride. It was entertaining and it did keep you interested in how the story was going to pan out. The story is just so out there that it's entertaining just from that standpoint. I don't think that it really stood out to me for much more than a really wild story, so I think the three stars is pretty spot on. See more Les N @Vegas628 Jun 3 Hmm. Women don't know what they want? Is that the premise of the movie? See more Scott M @RT75128960 01/01/2025 I've always wondered if it was Juno Temple's choice to play the role as a stripper with heart of gold or the producer/director's choice. Because I just don't believe her character would act like that in real life. See more Leonie H @RT96235075 12/29/2024 I watched this movie for Kathryn Hahn and she is the reason I stayed. Her acting is phenomenal. The story is good, but definitely cringe at times. I would love more movies like this. See more Pam L @PamLehman 02/20/2024 Loved it from start to finish! All actors are great. More of a chick-flick See more 01/23/2022 Apparently the message is you can't save everyone and have to consider the consequences of your actions regardless of simple emotion. I found the story OK, but the interactions between the characters were not that authentic, seemed forced and stilted. Not my kind of movie. Decent but nothing tonwrite home about.
