... both emotionally captivating and elusive ...
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
Rotten
Subtle and morose to a fault, in the end it's just Junebug, another Sundance downer, without the heart.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Fresh
Ira Sachs' story of hereditary malaise, passed from father to son, will disappoint anyone looking for a propulsive narrative or slam-bang excitement. But it will amply reward patient viewers who prefer a slow burn.
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News

[Torn's] acting so well he not only creates this character, but makes him into an object lesson.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
