Critics Consensus

Dean's light touch with heavy themes -- and a talented cast led by writer-director-star Demetri Martin -- help compensate for the familiar story's narrative drift.

Wow! This has to be the very best movie I've ever seen! Very very deep and eye-opening. Not everyone will get it, but for someone who is going through certain situations, this is very revelatory and a breath of much-needed fresh air!

It starts a little slow, but so glad I stuck. It's the sweetest movie. So human and funny and sad. The end is great. Full disclosure: I've loved Demetrius Martin and his drawings for a long time and PS. I've forgotten her name but the actress who plays his L.A.girlfriend just dazzles. What charm.

I think i blame myself going into the film and expecting something more like I heart Huckabee's than a plain drama about getting over the death of a loved one and not handing over your talents to cooperate America. But then again, it follows in suit to Dimitri's dry, one-lined humor, which if your fan, is never a bad thing.

Absolutely loved it! It was an entertainingly serious but light film, it perfectly reflected his kind of humour and why its so genious. Im really glad Demetri Martin is getting into a big project like acting/directing/writing his own thing, I hope he keeps it going because I've been a fan of his for a while and I think he's one of the must underrated comedians right now! <3

Meh. Love Gillian Jacobs 2.1. Demetri Martin always comes off as pretentious to me and tries to cover it up with quirkiness . I couldn’t buy into the chemistry between the too

I really liked this movie. It's a little depressing, however both he and his father use their dry / dark humor to remedy that. Perhaps I'm in a sentimental mood, but the movie resonated with me. Cheers

This material might've worked better as sketches in an omnibus film.

It's about imperfections and dealing with the moment, and how the aftermath of death helps shape the way we handle life.

Simply put, this is a comedian showing he has more than one voice and the complements do not end there.

If Kevin Kline doesn't break your heart a few times in this film, you might be due for an emotional tune up.
