Sierra Burgess Is a Loser

“The real strength of Sierra Burgess Is a Loser is the steely determination and sharp intellect of Sierra herself, for which Purser must be given most of the credit.”

“Beyond its aspects of romantic comedy, Sierra Burgess Is A Loser offers an authentic examination of identity in the confines of high school stereotypes.”

Julia Teti, The Playlist · 83

“Each character is given a chance at failure and redemption, which is what makes “Sierra Burgess” feel like such a well-rounded world. The smart script and butterfly-inducing romance captures those sweet moments of falling in love — whether it’s with your crush, or even better, with a friend.”

Katie Walsh, Los Angeles Times · 80

“Even if you’ve seen it all before, Sierra Burgess will still satisfy your end-of-summer sweet tooth.”

Dana Schwartz, Entertainment Weekly · 75

“The overall package, despite suffering from some third-act narrative problems, generally goes down easily and boasts a strong, lived-in performance by Shannon Purser (Barbara from the first season of Stranger Things).”
