	Media	Author	Review
		Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"One of the quiet charms of 'Duck Butter' (...) is how its modest scale works in its favor (...) [A movie] with heart and intelligence, good craft and technique"
		Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"The movie is stuffed with talent and buffed with hipster-indie polish. It’s also frequently silly, only fitfully involving and often surprisingly banal"
		Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times	"The result is a revelation: a candid, smart and sexy dissection of a relationship (...) Truly fresh"
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"It’s a film that proves difficult to fall for (...) [There is] so much sex that it ultimately has a numbing effect (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Eric Kohn IndieWire	"While it falls short of coalescing into much of a bigger picture, manages to fulfill the expectations of its well-worn trope without screwing it up."
		Emily Yoshida Vulture	"Rewarding and suffocating in equal measure (...) 'Duck Butter' wants to smother you with intimacy ‘til you’re sick of it, but it’s all still totally exciting"
