The film's real triumph is in how accurately it captures the intricacies of human relationships, especially when tested.

Cesc Gay's wise, wistful and well-observed film about two friends enjoying a final reunion in the shadow of impending death, is by turns amusing and affecting - and quite often both at once.
Joe Leydon, Variety
Fresh
A clean-lined, sensitively-written and beautifully played two-hander that tackles complex issues in a refreshingly straightforward, downbeat way.
Jonathan Holland, Hollywood Reporter

Gay's picture proves once again that one can construct a comedy out of such material, as long as one respects the subject matter and refrains from being gimmicky in order to feel edgy and cool.
Oktay Ege Kozak, indieWIRE
