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.

Rated: 1.5/5

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.
