James Greenberg TheWrap A loving, if slight, excursion into the world of New York theater, actors' division. Nov 11, 2016 Full Review Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter Winningly bittersweet despite its frustratingly slight lapses. Nov 11, 2016 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times A tenderly observed, bittersweet comedy featuring a beautifully rooted Gabriel Byrne. Nov 10, 2016 Full Review Walker MacMurdo Willamette Week No Pay, Nudity is a good example of why studio executives don't want to throw money at pictures in which not much happens: If they aren't very good, they tend to be very dull. Rated: C+ Dec 14, 2016 Full Review Kam Williams Baret News Kudos to Gabriel Byrne for delivering a nonpareil performance in this plausible portrait of a fading star struggling to maintain his dignity in the face of diminished dreams. Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 13, 2016 Full Review Elias Savada Film International No Pay, Nudity is very much like filmed theater, and it might actually work better as a play. As light drama, the movie is fairly inert. Rated: 2/5 Oct 31, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
