Eric Kohn indieWire Sealey's patient screenplay has a clean, intelligent structure that could easily become watered down for Hollywood treatment, but she defies expectations with a suitably ambiguous conclusion. Rated: B+ Nov 7, 2016 Full Review John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter Sealey's direction and dialogue aim for the believable strangeness of real human relationships instead of the schematics of melodrama. With the exception of a brief moment or two, the film definitely hits the mark. Nov 2, 2016 Full Review Peter Debruge Variety A distressingly thin slice of frustrated middle-class ennui cut from the scrappy mumblecore mold. Jun 18, 2011 Full Review Ernest Hardy L.A. Weekly It's not groundbreaking stuff, but the ample time spent on the husband's pain and frustration creates an unexpectedly complex portrait of an ordinary, often annoying man trying to avoid being crushed by the upheavals in his ordinary life. Nov 7, 2016 Full Review John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Essentially a commercial film in mumblecore drag, with Kent Osborne giving a great, funny performance as a hapless, unhappily married man. Rated: 3/4 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The performances are all top-notch, the situation is completely believable and the characters sympathetic. Maybe the pacing was a little slow, because it didn't quite grab me. I like it more as I think about it after the fact (where I can't pinpoint anything really wrong with it) than I did while watching it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
