United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"The closing scenes of '6 Balloons' had my heart in my throat and tears in my eyes in ways that I wasn’t expecting. It’s incredibly powerful stuff (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"The movie leaves you with a deep respect for the willingness evidenced by Ryan and her collaborators to take several gambles that pay off dramatically and emotionally."	POS
United States	Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"[Jacobson] is the most compelling reason to seek out this affecting, if not particularly surprising or satisfying drama"	NEU
United States	Jordan Ruimy The Playlist	"[It] is sometimes too hard to watch (...) A distressing, sometimes excruciating, experience (...) Ryan clearly has talent, though perhaps it’s not quite fully formed."	NEU
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"[Marja-Lewis Ryan] gracefully unfolds the ongoing push-pull of Seth and Katie’s relationship (...) 'Balloons' feels more like a sketch or a character study than a fully realized film"	NEU
