Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle There's much to savor in Wurmfeld's insightful and oft-melancholy film about two old friends who've maintained said friendship since 1963. Rated: 3/5 Oct 25, 2013 Full Review Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times There is just enough of Shepard's lyrical prose and Dark's depth and humor to whet the appetite. You walk out wanting to read at least a few of them beginning to end. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 10, 2013 Full Review Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader The stress of their reunion yields fascinating insights into Shepard's work. Oct 3, 2013 Full Review Drew Taylor The Playlist Instead, after all that effort being put into showing this relationship in its fullest terms, they allow the men to, true to their mythic southwestern surroundings, simply walk into the sunset... Rated: B Oct 4, 2013 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Enlightening and philosophical. Rated: 8.35/10 Sep 28, 2013 Full Review Rob Thomas Capital Times (Madison, WI) Treva Wurmfeld has made a lovely and insightful film, not just about this friendship, but all friendships, and how having people in your life who know you so well can be a comfort and a curse. Rated: 3.5/4 Apr 22, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Intimate doc about friendship and the human condition, in general Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I found this doc totally enthralling - the ebb and flow of long-time friendships, the ruminations on aging and the push and pull between wanting solitude and companionship - it was all very meaningful to watch. I was totally riveted by both of these men and their stories in relation to one another. In fact, I'd watch an entire series of films on these men. Incredible. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting tale of two interesting characters who become close friends. The interchange between them is worth the price of admission.
