Critics' reviews

"Despite a few tonal and structural missteps, this intelligent, perceptive drama proves as intimately and gratifyingly femme-focused as Polley's 2006 debut, 'Away From Her'."

Justin Chang: Variety
"Known for comedy, Rogen and Silverman are the film's most delightful surprises, and their performances shine."

Michael O'Sullivan: The Washington Post
"A mannered tale of an immature, empty vessel"

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"It's never boring, and rarely predictable"

Tasha Robinson: AV Club
"Sarah Polley's second film is a masterfully painted portrait of an ordinary marriage under threat, dominated by a central performance of exquisite subtlety"

David Hughes: Empire
"In theory, these are twentysomethings we're talking about. But they walk and talk like fortysomethings or fiftysomethings, such is their dullness and self-absorption (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"

Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian
