Metacritic reviews

A Woman, a Part knows how to hold an audience, and it’s got a fresh, if commercially limited, subject: What happens when hipsters get old.

The film is an astute character study that is analytical but never unemotional.

A Woman, a Part mixes passion and ambivalence to create a work with ambiguities that seem earned, and lived in.

Touching on issues of artistic survival and the porous boundary between work and pleasure, Ms. Subrin, an accomplished visual artist and filmmaker, sifts addiction, celebrity and the plight of the aging actress into something rarefied yet real.

Siff gives a modest but poignant performance that rings true for women of a certain age and career.

It's chiefly notable for Cara Seymour's nuanced supporting turn as Anna's sometime best friend, Kate.

The quality of the performances goes some way towards mitigating the navel-gazing tendencies of the dialogue. Seymour, in particular, gives a lovely, textured vulnerability to recovering alcoholic Kate.

The film’s depiction of friendship seldom pushes past insights predicated on a fundamental tension between characters.
