Rudolph's fondness for angular, oblique characterization is ideally suited to the movie's incidental story of sublimated feelings and contradictory impulses.

Domestic scenes with the kids are drawn with letter-perfect naturalism.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

There are movies that have a way of hitting you at a certain time in your life, and this study of being married with young children speaks in satisfying ways.

Rudolph's past work has been spotty, but his stress here on familial sovereignty is moving, as is his direction of the three children.
Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic
