Critics Consensus

Thoughtful and well-acted, Sublet tenderly depicts a romance that reaches across the generation gap -- and into the viewer's heart.

San Jose Mercury News

There's a raw and honest intimacy that's heartbreaking to behold and unique. The two leads are fantastic.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

A fairly obvious but otherwise effective light drama.

Thelma Adams

AARP Movies for Grownups

With a light touch and charm to burn, Sublet gently builds to the point where both men experience a deep emotional shift -- and, together, achieve that wonderful exhortation from E. M. Forster's Howards End: "Only connect."

Rated: 4/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

Clever, ironic and overwhelmingly human, Sublet shows us what happens when we're taken out of our comfort zone, and teaches us a valuable lesson in love.

Rated: 5/5

Vague Visages

The watchability of Fox’s film emanates from the connection between its two leads.

them.

The film is pleasantly languid in its unhurried exploration of intergenerational connection and how the shortest-lived relationships can be the most profound.

Shock Therapy R

The two protagonists sublet each other's head space, and emotional landscape, and generation, and intellect, and vulnerabilities, and bodies. This really was a beautiful movie and both characters, as well as I, the viewer, departed this experience feeling as though my life was better, or could be better, as a result. This genre of evocative, albeit vicarious, exchange is deeply moving and transformative. It doesn't take the beaches of Tel Aviv to accomplish (though it surely was appealing), but it does take an openness and a willingness to genuinely share. I loved it!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This movie caught me by surprise. I had not heard of this movie before and decided to watch it based on the Critic's Reviews. It's charming, sweet and very heartfelt. Great acting too!
