B+
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. Go to Full Review John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter 11/02/2016
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. Go to Full Review Peter Debruge Variety 06/18/2011
A distressingly thin slice of frustrated middle-class ennui cut from the scrappy mumblecore mold. Go to Full Review Ernest Hardy L.A. Weekly 11/07/2016
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.

3/4
Essentially a commercial film in mumblecore drag, with Kent Osborne giving a great, funny performance as a hapless, unhappily married man. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/06/2012 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. See more Read all reviews
