The filmmaking is sure-handed, the performances authentic.

Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times

Wilson and Wilde have a light touch that makes them perfect for the comedies they often make. Here, Morano leads them to much darker places, and they plunge right in.

Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

A film with two very strong central performances from a pair of underrated actors that falters by being so self-aware of the tortured existence it's attempting to capture.

Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com

Reed Morano, an accomplished cinematographer making her directorial debut, does a fine job hewing to her uncoiling characters like a shroud, and her actors are up to the task.

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

The setup is a scriptwriting gimme - if your central couple lose a child, practically any subsequent behavior is justifiable - but the actors sell what they're given quite effectively.

Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
