Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
It belatedly reveals itself to be a meditation on the different kinds of loneliness, presenting isolation as a form of social stage fright.

rotten:
The best thing about Philip Seymour Hoffman's directing debut: It stars Philip Seymour Hoffman.
– Colin Covert,

fresh:
The movie's heart and story, both bleeding and mending, and its quartet of characters are hard to abandon -- and easy to care about.
– Lisa Kennedy,

fresh:
Hoffman the director can't compete with Hoffman the film's star. And he can pretty much just stand in wonder at the layers co-star Amy Ryan brings to the party. The woman is a natural wonder.

rotten:
The magnitude of the acting overshadows the modest reach of the material.
