Annie breaks up with her longtime boyfriend Duncan -- a teacher who's obsessed with former 1990s rocker Tucker Crowe. She soon develops an unexpected bond with Tucker when he visits his pregnant daughter in London.

Critics Consensus

Juliet, Naked's somewhat familiar narrative arc is elevated by standout work from a charming cast led by a well-matched Rose Byrne and Ethan Hawke.

It's a great triumph of the film that while you're watching it you don't think, oh that's a ridiculous contrivance...

4/5

Byrne and Hawke, both easygoing, naturalistic performers at their best when they barely seem to be acting, have an utterly persuasive connection.

4/5

There are truths about the lies we tell ourselves. It ends very satisfactorily, but dares to leave at least one narrative thread dangling conspicuously.

Hawke also performs a solo version of “Waterloo Sunset” that makes this rom-com worth your time.

4/5

Of all of Hornby’s works, Juliet, Naked is by far handled with the most care. Lightly funny while packed with melancholy along the way.

3/4

A pleasant, often funny, and quietly charming indie alternative to the hyperactive comedies and overwrought romances usually distributed today.

Rose Byrne and Ethan Hawke, Chris O'Dowd combine in this quaint romcom with a dramatic heart. I only had one problem with this film: in the very good scene where Ethan is in hospital and he has exes and kids going off at him… the bedside monitor stays at 117/72 even though he is clearly agitated. That’s dumb directing. The set design and locations are so believable, I enjoyed the houses, the crockery, the knickknacks. The story and plot tick along easily enough although Hawke sending O’Dowd an unreleased album when he thinks he and his cadre are morons, is a weird self-own. Oh, and Hawke is invisible… yet he lives in a community using his real name… in 2018… Not believable. The theme I took away from this film is living in a failed past, betrayal, regret, forgiveness, new roads. I have watched this twice now. Rewatch? Maybe, maybe.

What a terrific movie. Funny and sweet. The hospital scene alone makes this movie. Hawke and burnes knock it out of the park with there performances. Tim Treakle

Unique plot, well-directed and edited. Full of compassionate humor and irony. Rose Byrne is deeply charming in her pursuit of things deeply meaningful. She may have found them in her resonant relation to Hawke.
