	Author	Review
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"As flat or unwieldy as 'Unicorn Store' can be at times, Larson invests Kit’s love of all things bright, pastel and shiny with an affecting urgency"	NEU
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"'Unicorn Store' spends so much time focused on Kit’s mostly-average, mostly-boring pre-unicorn life that it’s hard to understand what the universe (or the movie, at least) is trying to teach her"	NEG
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"There’s a fatal overdose of whimsical quirk (...) Larson is a fairly competent director (...) With a less affected, more genuine script, Larson could star in and direct a great comedy (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Larson manages to mitigate the twee factor thanks to a droll, deadpan perspective that affectionately tweaks the film’s premise"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"'Unicorn Store' is too adult for kids, too childlike for adults, and too muddled for the motley lot of misfits and dreamers who just want to think different."	NEG
United States	Kevin Jagernauth The Playlist	"It’s all as saccharinely whimsical as it sounds, but that tone is offset by measured dramatic beats that keep the story from completing floating away."	NEU
United States	E. Oliver Whitney Screen Crush	"Larson’s performance isn’t bad, but the screenplay’s curious choices and saccharine themes sabotage her work at every turn."	NEU
