Overall not too bad, one note to the video editors on this movie: Please rewatch your film and you will find that the boom mic makes it way into a few of the scenes, really takes away from the movie.

This movie gets its foundation from the chemistry of the actors and the intrigue of the premise. It all plays out really well if you're interested and compelled by the actors. If you're not, then you'll miss it's sweetness. I'm currently going through grief and this movie definitely hit a chord.

Press Play isn’t in the same league as Capra’s masterpiece, but it’s a modestly engaging and handsomely packaged diversion.

Rated: 2.5/5

It's a really cool idea, but I really wish these two were better actors.

AV Club

An evocative and altogether pleasant conjuring of the consuming nature of young love that serves as both a nice showcase for its up-and-coming stars and an exploration of the swirl of grief.

Rated: B-

Mr. Movie's Film Blog

The soundtrack is good, if already a tad dated and sometimes distinctly on the nose (the cover of ‘Do You Realize??’ could have substituted for much of the script). Laura and Harrison’s unlikely story is diverting and moderately entertaining

A so hip-it-hurts soundtrack also delivers the requisite “feels”, while the occasional well-chosen one-liner ensures things never get too maudlin.

Rated: 3/5

Anchored by a very good performance from Rugaard (a largely unknown Danish actress), who works hard to sell the concept, the film manages to push past the obvious paradoxes of time travel and arrive at an emotionally satisfying end point that makes sense.

Rated: 3/5
