It is typical of Bujalski's finely wrought observation of their lives that the film ends, as it began, with a moment in which Lauren is poised, indecisively, on the cusp of a decision.
Kate Taylor, Globe and Mail
Overview

Ultimately a dull story about dull thirtysomethings whose dull issues are conveyed in a prying, cinema verite style, implying drama and meaning in the mundane details of their dull lives.
Greg Quill, Toronto Star

More than ever, Bujalski comes across like the natural heir to someone like Eric Rohmer, an artist who creates intricate, perceptive and artful cinema that rejects unnecessary style and contrivance.
David Jenkins, Time Out

It's rambling, doesn't really go anywhere, and is not necessarily about anything beyond its own sense of place. But it's mildly diverting nonetheless. It's about mood, not plot.
Cary Darling, Dallas Morning News

Makes up in depth for what it sacrifices in breadth.
