4/5
Represents much of what is wonderful and fresh about the recent wave of ultra-low-budget American independent filmmaking. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 11/05/2009
3/4
Austin, Texas, has never looked more unlovely, and its residents more clueless, than in Harmony and Me, a funny, wry mumblecore comedy by Bob Byington. Go to Full Review
Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune 11/05/2009
3/4
In a flat, dry affect, the movie sings the breakup blues. Go to Full Review
Peter Keough Boston Phoenix 04/21/2010
This bagatelle from Bob Byington is Greenberg lite, or maybe an edgier The Office, or softcore mumblecore. Go to Full Review
Ron Wilkinson Monsters and Critics 10/12/2009
7/10
A great new director with a great and laid back saga that will be too laid back for some but well worth the watching. Go to Full Review

05/27/2021 One of my favorite independent films. It's fun, fast paced, engaging... A delight. It has a seemingly typical story for an independent film; a guy painfully hung up on a past girlfriend, working out his issues. But it's not really typical at all. It's a rare independent comedy that's sarcastic but not mean spirited. Innocent but not naive. Heartfelt but not dramatic. Most important, I like Harmony. I root for him. I enjoy watching him and I love what the story does with him. By the time it ends (after less than 90 minutes) I feel 100% satisfied. See more nefasto r 06/05/2018 Doesn't get any indier than this, but I have to say that It is also one of the most honest and funny films I watched recently. The story is simple and old as time: braking up and dealing with it, but in this little pearl it sounds like something new. Looks like it's true that money isn't everything after all. See more 04/12/2016 Flat and dry in tone, Bob Byington's film is an odd take on the down and out blues. See more 08/18/2013 For an ultra low budget indie, Harmony and Me is quite enjoyable. Even though it's horribly shot and directed, the comedy is sharp and the actors - especially Justin Rice - are fully competent. What more could you ask of a mumblecore flik? Well, a better ending, I suppose; the dous ex machina is atrocious, but it's Harmony you really care about in the end. See more 03/22/2013 Good picture! Can't wait to see more from this Bob Byington fellow. See more 06/02/2012 An ultra low-budget film that has the feel of a collection of short stories, sprinkled with the humor of The Office (U.S.). It doesn't exactly grasp it's central topic down, but at an hour and 15 minutes, Harmony and Me is a breezy and welcome mumblecore, and superior to peers like The Colour Wheel and The Puffy Chair.
