- 80Screen RantMolly FreemanScreen RantMolly FreemanThe Broken Hearts Gallery is overflowing with charm and personality, making it exactly the kind of fun, feel-good romantic comedy needed right now.
- 80VarietyOwen GleibermanVarietyOwen GleibermanThe Broken Hearts Gallery pushes all the rom-com buttons but does it knowingly, with a spirit that embraces killer cynicism and then comes out the other side.
- 75Chicago TribuneKatie WalshChicago TribuneKatie WalshThe lush production design by Zazu Myers, especially in the Chloe Hotel, and rich cinematography by Alar Kivilo make for a colorfully saturated fantasy of New York City that elevates the film. This is a big, juicy rom-com that has proven to be a rare entity these days on the big screen.
- 75Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperChicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperGeraldine Viswanathan, fresh off her scene-stealing turn as the intrepid high school newspaper reporter in “Bad Education,” gives a knockout performance.
- 70TheWrapSteve PondTheWrapSteve PondThe film has some awkward edits and some jumps that suggest things are missing, but as a female-centric romance, it is breezy enough to go down easily.
- 67IndieWireRyan LattanzioIndieWireRyan LattanzioThe Broken Hearts Gallery will fit snugly on the shelf for tweens and teens as a source of comfort and maybe even empowerment, an ode to rebuilding, when the dissolution of a relationship leaves you feeling like a husk of yourself.
- 63The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzBut viewed from another, more cynical angle, The Broken Hearts Gallery reveals itself as just another lightweight Saturday-night diversion – zippy and heartfelt, certainly, but hardly reinventing or even seasonally rotating the rom-com wheel.
- 58The A.V. ClubCaroline SiedeThe A.V. ClubCaroline SiedeFor a film about heartbreak, The Broken Hearts Gallery is a bit too glossy for its own good.
- 50Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreEven if it plays like a sitcom pilot that might get picked up after a little recasting, “Broken Hearts Gallery” is never unpleasant and only rarely a drag. In rom-com starved Hollywood, call that a “win” and call it a day.
- 37Washington PostMichael O'SullivanWashington PostMichael O'SullivanThe route of the film, like Lucy’s drive home, is preordained — a Google Maps version of a plot, with absolutely no surprises.
