In just a short screening window, Stans has pulled in stellar ratings from both audiences and critics.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the audience score started high at 91% and then climbed to 93% as more people left reviews. That is a rare feat, especially when even the most critical takes sound like backhanded compliments. The lowest professional reviews refer to the movie as “Mildly engaging, often hagiographic and repetitive. Humblebrag”. If that is the harshest critique, the film is doing just fine.
IMDb shows Stans holding strong at 8/10 from 500 reviews, with a 96 popularity rating.
On Letterboxd, the film currently holds a 3.5/5 rating, but with so few reviews, it is too early to call this a reliable score.
Over at Metacritic there is not enough data yet for a full score, but outlets like Collider, whose reviews contribute to Metacritic’s average, have already given it a solid 8/10.
Viewers’ reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, calling the film touching, sincere, and thought-provoking. Have you seen it yet?
