Ren, an aspiring writer and mid-twenty-something, accompanies her parents, Mona and Guido, and her younger sister, Siena, on a beach resort holiday in cottage country. As Ren navigates the resort, she struggles to cope with her parents' loving yet overbearing nature, and tries to balance the yearning for independence with the comfort of being taken care of. The realities of being a stunted millennial and a trans woman coalesce in Ren not wanting to be perceived as a burden. Looming in the back of Ren's mind is the secret of her recent dismissal from work, and that once the holiday is over, she will need to rely even more on her family's support.

The Hollywood Reporter

Something You Said Last Night testifies to its director’s dexterity with constructing subtly meaningful moments, but without more insight into its protagonist, the film can feel unintentionally impenetrable at times.

This family isn’t picture perfect, but the way De Filippis tells their story is pretty flawless.

Rated: 3.5/4

One can only watch Renata, and this film, do so little for so long before yearning for more than naturalism and tenderness to drive the slice-of-life story.

Xtra Magazine

It’s a portrait of sisterhood and family ties in which audiences, from any background, can probably see their own relationships reflected on screen.

Mildly engaging and understated, but somewhat shallow and underwhelming. It's just as bland as its title.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

It’s superbly stress-inducing every single time you have to watch their mother berate one of them and watch them be pitted against one another. It’s equally sweet in its moments of coming together.

One of the worst movies ever! I have no idea how any production company brings a bunch of poor who pretend acting to produce such garbage.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
