Kate Erbland The Dissolve 04/09/2015
3/5
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. Go to Full Review
Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 03/26/2015
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. Go to Full Review
Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 12/14/2019
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. Go to Full Review
Mark Jackson Epoch Times 06/03/2016
1.5/5
It would be a drastic understatement to say that one never manages to care about any of these characters. Go to Full Review
Sherilyn Connelly SF Weekly 01/01/2016
Prediger and Weixler are clearly talented, and hopefully have much more cohesive (and funny) work ahead of them. Go to Full Review
Norman Wilner NOW Toronto 04/09/2015
3/5
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. Go to Full Review

prawnda s @RT72497680 02/28/2022 pointless and shallow infantilization of young people, bad artwork and bad poetry. not the worst movie out there, but less funny than it was irritating See more 01/22/2017 good n funny dramedy See more 12/05/2016 Arguably one of the most annoying films I have ever seen- terrible pretentious writing, inexcusable bad acting and obnoxious no talent leads- tedious story- See more cesare m @RT22684087 06/12/2015 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. See more lisa m @LJMacLeod 04/14/2015 46 minutes in, worst movie evah, couldn't even finish or watch for a single moment more. See more 04/02/2015 "We're on a cleansing" ! It was refreshing to see Jess Weixler after a long time. As an impressionable young man I boisterously enjoyed 'Teeth' during my undergrad days! As a salaried one, I return to appraise 'Apartment Troubles'! The indie movie provides a playful insight in the lives of two young girls with contrasting personas and tastes. We are taken on a ride into the nitty gritties of friendship. The plot moves coherently from the beginning and is evenly interspersed with humour- both implicit and explicit. The characters are solidly written and well acted. Although there are a few instances- but only a few- where the story seems exaggerated. A decent indie effort, worth watching and worth collecting.
