Boasts a top-notch cast and acclaimed filmmakers. Yet this film about family dysfunction and ethical crises never reaches a fully satisfying conclusion.

Like a kinder, gentler version of Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors: a rumination on human fallibility and corruption with lower stakes but a lot more sexual heat in its heart.

The film radiates theatrical splendor, but the breakout performance belongs to Cristin Milioti.

Other than fine performances, there's not much here to see. The writing is too subtle and nothing really original

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

This is a quiet movie examining human frailty. it is well worth watching. The characters played by Cristin Miloti and Omar Medwally provide the most interest in the movie

Great cast but the point gets lost. Not sure what movie the director was trying to make.

Great cast wasted on awful dialogue, unappealing characters making inexplicable bad choices and meandering pointless plot. I get the Woody Allen comparison (spoiled, neurotic, wealthy New Yorkers) but none of the depth and magic of Allen’s best work.

If a story about boring self-indulgent individuals makes for a captivating family drama, than I was clearly watching a different movie, that doesn't take way too much time (2 hours) to eventual get nowhere. Its a big waste of time for all the talents involved.
