Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Porterfield's film doesn't offer much in the way of plot, but the ways the characters bounce off one another in small spaces are precisely observed, and the actors have a lot of soul ...
– Adam Nayman,
Globe and Mail,
9 May 2014
fresh:
Unfolds like a music album, with emotive songs supplying information that doesn't need repeating in the lean screenplay, which the director co-wrote with Amy Belk.
– Peter Howell,
Toronto Star,
8 May 2014
rotten:
The couple, both musicians, are in the midst of a bitter breakup, and Porterfield frequently trains the camera on one or the other as each performs his melancholy tunes; this stops the narrative dead in its tracks.
– J. R. Jones,
Chicago Reader,
7 Nov 2013
fresh:
The visual style of third-time director Matthew Porterfield ("Putty Hill," "Hamilton") is emphatically lyrical, beginning with a widescreen shot of a Maryland Ferris wheel that suggests a celebration of Americana.
– John Hartl,
Seattle Times,
24 Oct 2013
fresh:
Nuanced performances by the non-professional cast and a haunting soundtrack help fill in the deliberate narrative gaps.
