The presence of a young model (Gillian Jacobs) causes tension among three couples at a New Year's gathering.

Glenn Heath Jr.

Slant Magazine

Marriage is hell. Matrimony is rife with mistrust, misdeeds, and misconceptions. But you know what's worse? Being single. We get it.

Rated: 1.5/4

The Hollywood Reporter

Helena From the Wedding is written, directed, and played with such verve and deep, unshowy feeling that its insights on these tried-and-true themes come through with rare and startling clarity.

Jeannette Catsoulis

New York Times

Among its achievements is the kind of comfortable, shaded acting we expect from seasoned professionals and a script (by the director, Joseph Infantolino) that almost scarily captures the cadences of whining white privilege.

Rated: 3.5/5

The picture ultimately doesn't end up anywhere, but moments are accounted for nicely, creating a warm bath of razors for those who prefer their onscreen relationships to be as hesitant as possible.

Rated: B

Ethan Alter

NYC Film Critic

The cast handles the material adequately enough, but writer/director Joseph Infantolino doesn't provide them with anything they (and we) haven't seen played out before.

Rated: 2/4

Not much of a plot, but in the end, it made me feel good. Relationships are not always what they appear.

A boring epilogue style format with the misconstrued assumption that you would care about either couple. 27/7/2013

Netflix sleeve descriptions are often misleading, but this beginning deserves reposting: "In this coming-of-middle-age" story....

I wanted my artsy fartsy intellect to really "like" this movie... But I didn't... Perhaps I just wasn't deep enough... i found it bland and overly depressing... I did not care about any of the characters except for maybe Alice...
