	Media	Author	Review
		Guy Lodge Variety	"An unpalatable proposition, with its iffy sexual politics and a comic tone caught awkwardly between nihilistic irony and dewy-eyed sentiment."
		Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"It all gets predictably sloppy - to the point where you long for someone to put this film in a taxi and send it off into the night (...) The movie is glaringly under-written"
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"More an intriguing literary conceit than a credible drama (...) The picture fares better at finding occasional moments of warmth than at convincing us of its characters' reality"
		Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"Wayne Roberts complements this tired (at best) depiction of cancer as a liberating force with equally worn-out screenwriting devices"
		Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times	"[Depp] commits to his character’s tricky balancing act but over-relies on his signature rakishness to fully convince."
