Critics Consensus

Person to Person's moments of insight and absorbing character development are scattered among an aimless, disjointed narrative.

Although this film has its moments, it is too much like Seinfeld, which I don't enjoy. Also get tired of plots (?) about "average" New Yorkers.

It was intriguing, a study of sociology and psychology; it keeps one on your toes! I would recommend it for comedy and drama!

This film just tickled me and gave me the giggles. It has good characters and good dialouge. The characters are really easy to invest in, they seem as genuine rounded people outwith the bounds of a movie, not just characters. The transitions from character to character are really smooth and the whole film is just breezy and smooth. All of the actors give good performances. It is also reminicsent of the 90's. I remember there being a lot of these types of movies about people's lives in the 90's but you don't see them as much anymore. This one is a good example and pulled off well. The stories that are showcased are all interesting. The ending is slightly meh but I suppose it is hard to transport into random people's lives and then leave on any kind of crescendo, the subject matter does not allow for it. I really enjoyed this movie.

Defa, who writes as well directs, delivers a respectable ensemble cast movie with intricate story-lines and likeable characters; however it would have been more beneficial for the narrative had the stories been more neatly tied together.

Rated: 3/5

Person to Person is the kind of movie that asks its viewers to open up that tender spot inside. Once you do, it'll completely charm you.

Part coming of age story, and part murder mystery, this delightful light comedy brims with thoughtful dialogue and memorable performances. Settle in for a great date night movie. You won't be disappointed.

Rated: FOUR STARS

Filmmaker Magazine

Dustin Guy Defa’s Person to Person is an all-star remake/expansion of his short of the same name, with delirious cast juxtapositions...
