The Dissolve

Despite their characters' inability to function as adults, both Prediger and Weixler deploy enough charm to keep Olivia and Nicole engaging and interesting to watch.

Rated: 3/5

Gary Goldstein

Los Angeles Times

Writer-director-stars Jess Weixler and Jennifer Prediger have created such blurry, unappealing characters that their film is hamstrung from the get-go. That they never find a functional narrative in which to place said characters only makes matters worse.

Behind The Lens

Well written characters give [Apartment Troubles] a strong foundation on which [Jess] Weixler and [Jennifer] Prediger build style and technique, complimenting sharp dialogue and performances with superb production values.

It would be a drastic understatement to say that one never manages to care about any of these characters.

Prediger and Weixler are clearly talented, and hopefully have much more cohesive (and funny) work ahead of them.

NOW Toronto

Apartment Troubles is nothing less than a stealth remake of Bruce Robinson's classic misery farce Withnail And I from writer/director/stars Jess Weixler and Jennifer Prediger.

Just not very good or even fair. Dismal is the word I'm looking for. I thought Megan Mullally would spice it up, but even she is a dud in this piece of hopelessness.

It appears like a pointless story about two clueless and immature twenty-somethings. But there's more subtlety than that, as the delicate and perfect ending will clearly show.
