There's just not enough that's new here - either in what's being said, or how.

New York Times

"In a Relationship" has a smudged tenderness and almost nostalgic sweetness, as if we're watching these characters painfully learn everything that we already know.

The Hollywood Reporter

Two couples try to decide if they should stay together in Sam Boyd's feature debut, In A Relationship, which is unlikely to inspire many viewers to root strongly for one outcome or the other.

Film Inquiry

Most often, the aspirations of the characters are made to be fun, quirky, and endearing instead of something to criticize and laugh at. The result is a voyeuristic peek inside of their vapid lives.

Cinemalogue

Like its title, this exploration of the romantic travails of a quartet of angst-ridden millennials has all the depth and personality of a Facebook status update.

Boyd exchanges unrelenting sweetness and conveniently pretty endings for a quiet reminder of the messy uncertainty of evolving relationships.

Rated: 6/10

Was disappointed with this one. I watched it because I saw the same name as the guy who wrote Love Life with Anna Kendrick, and I actually enjoyed that. This one -- ending was bad. Wasn't as enjoyable as I wanted it to be. Pass on it!

Probablemente una de las películas mas tristes que vi últimamente porque es algo que a todos nos paso en algún momento de la vida. Igual por mas que en general este bien resulta medio aburrida.

The movie is slow and poorly executed. There's little to root for. At the end, there's no takeaway from the film — nothing gained.

Boring, tedious and bland, simple as that, 1 hour and 30 minutes that felt like 4 hours.

The four leads are enjoyable to watch, especially Emma Roberts, in a story that has no real point or larger thematical reasons for its existence; but it's a fun story that captures one relationship that ends and one that begins over a long summer in LA. There is an abundance of sex scenes in this movie that are neither romantic or necessary to show.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Shows how complex a relationship can be. How much work it takes from both sides. I really liked it.
