Hats Off Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
David Wiegand
It's obviously not all because of her drive and determination, but we come away from Johnstone's film believing attitude may play a role in the theater of at least one woman's life.
PopMatters
Bill Gibron
Sometimes, a story is just not worth telling, and while Mimi's life is definitely an unusual one, it's not iconic.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
If you're not tickled and stirred by the sight of her 95-pound frame kicking off sheets and leaping out of bed to answer a phone -- a gig, maybe! -- then shame on you.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Although it's highly effective at conveying the amusing aspects of its subject's quirky personality, Hats Off is less than meaningful in terms of terms of getting under her skin.
FilmStew.com
Richard Horgan
A wonderful continuation of Johnstone's previous age-is-but-a-number twilight documentaries Martha & Ethel and Throwing Curves.
Film Journal International
David Noh
Johnstone, a friend of the family, maintains too discreet a distance from her subject.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
The face may be vaguely familiar, and if the name 'Mimi Weddell' doesn't ring a bell it will after you've seen Jyll Johnstone's affectionate documentary portrait of this unstoppable nonagenarian model and actress.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Jyll Johnstone's irresistible Hats Off documents Mimi Weddell, a Manhat tanite who, at 93, has pretty much cornered the market playing elegant, very old ladies in movies, TV, commercials and print ads.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Hats Off is a documentary tribute to the 93-year-old actress Mimi Weddell, one of those people for whom the word 'individual' seems especially apt.
Boxoffice Magazine
Amy Nicholson
Overall, Hats Off feels like a scripted documentary that avoids the full story.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Despite intimate, prolonged access to her subject, director Jyll Johnstone seems to have missed the most interesting wrinkles of Weddell's story in favor of fuzzy life's-a-stage affirmations.
Village Voice
Vadim Rizov
[Actress] Weddell isn't really representative of an older generation of actors; she's one of a kind. But this visually indifferent documentary never explains why that matters.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Quaint and slight.
