Despite her script's omissions - we learn little about where these affluent people come from, their occupations or how they know one another - Ms. DuVall juggles the emotional dynamics with fluid editing and light comic touches.

Andy Webster, New York Times

The script wobbles between heavy-handed and touching, but the result is a pleasantly nostalgic throwback that's saved from its copy-cat tendencies by charismatic actors.

If DuVall's purpose was to provide a snapshot of her generation, she should have sharpened her focus.

As an unfussy, dryly amusing and sincere look at men and women pondering emotional pivots in their lives, it's plenty likable.

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

Wanders from scene to scene until arriving at some pretty implausible conflict resolution.
