I watched this because I was on a Quinto binge and I think the reviewers didn't get it. It's not a feel good movie, but the story is solid and the performances are all exceptional. Mental illness is a tough plot line since everyone has their own take, so watch it for the actors and I think you'll find it's very truthful.

A little too slow, but a sad, realistic story about mental illness.

James Berardinelli

ReelViews

Cobbled together using clichs and contrivances, Brian Shoaf's feature debut perceives mental illness more as a personality quirk than a sickness and treats it almost as a kind of magical realism.

Rated: 2/4

Aardvark doesn't know how to do what it wants to do. It's not that the tone is uneven or uncertain, it's that the film doesn't have a tone at all.

Movie Mom

Three thoughtful performances and a couple of intriguing interactions, but it is ultimately undermined by an underwritten script. The parts are greater than the whole.

Phawker

Shoaf builds to an odd crescendo and then mocks his audience for finally taking the leap with him. It's an audacious move that brings the third act to a grinding halt and really had me wondering what the director was attempting to accomplish.

Under the Radar

Zachary Quinto as the amiable, aimless and psychologically-troubled Josh who deals with hallucinations in a small town America and Jenny Slate as his new therapist Emily are begging for better material to work with.
