Moving On Reviews
Matthew Huff Smash Cut Reviews
Moving On is not groundbreaking cinema, but it doesn’t need to be. Honestly, it’s the better for it.

Fans of Netflix’s Grace & Frankie should definitely check out this black comedy which reunites the two female stars of that series -- Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda.

While the film stumbles from time to time with its pacing and design, Moving On stays with you—thanks to its winning all-star cast.

Just when we thought we were in, it pushes us back out.

Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin are obviously NOT Moving On. They’re back on the big screen again, co-starring in a rated R for revenge comedy that’s more Grace and Frankie than 80 for Brady.

Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion
A ragged, tonally awkward dramedy redeemed to a considerable extent by the stars’ rapport...more a cinematic morsel than a full meal, but thanks to Tomlin and Fonda the sweet-and-sour mix goes down pretty easily.

Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin are worth the watch, but this film doesn't do their talent justice.

Matt Conway Battle Royale With Cheese
Even as the promising puzzle pieces don’t quite gel together, the experience still provides a refreshingly morbid comedy bolstered by the radiant talents of its remarkable stars.

Roger Moore Movie Nation
An amusingly edgy geriatric comedy that provides that late career comic duo Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin with their best star vehicle since “Nine to Five.”

Though grounded in the appealing performances by Fonda and Tomlin, the slight film can become too sentimental and overbearing.

Carla Hay Culture Mix
Neither terrible nor great, Moving On will mainly appeal to viewers who like seeing Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin work together on screen. This comedy/drama with a deadly revenge plot is really a harmless story about appreciating true friendships.

I give it a B for its fun nature and easy watch.

Lily Tomlin provides good comic relief and both she and Jane Fonda are terrific to watch. The film has some secrets to reveal, and everything is carried out in a clever and thoroughly believable manner.

Its flaws as a tragi-comedy are visible, but its stars, script, and especially its purposes make it worthy.

Fonda and Tomlin fit together like a hand in glove, their timing and wit deliver the dark comedy. This is an unusual story calling out how the past can haunt a person well to near the end of their lives and it's a testament to two legendary performers.

It’s obviously a benefit to this film that Fonda and Tomlin are excellent in their scenes with each other. Still, I’ll go further out on a limb and note how strong their work is when hitting the various dramatic beats throughout this offbeat comedy.

The “Moving On” cast of Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and Malcolm McDowell is a winning combination--you will laugh out loud one minute and tear up the next while viewing the serious scenes.

Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin are great together, and Malcolm McDowell is a terrific villain.
