	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Ned Benson's two-part Toronto hit about a breakup seen from both sides has been condensed into a cut-and-shut hybrid which seems to sacrifice subtlety for brevity (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"A most affecting portrait of two people who love each other, but may no longer be able to live as one, and it is mostly a pleasure to spend two, or three, or five hours in their company"	POS
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"For me Chastain's unerring honesty is the only element keeping 'The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby' above the realm of pure affectation. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"As a whole, it doesn’t quite work, but the parts — particular moments, observations and insights about the way people behave and perceive themselves — are frequently excellent."	NEU
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"What looms largest is the sense of abiding loss of a potentially great movie. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Jessica Chastain is a shining star with acting skills that resonate beyond her beauty. She is at her fierce, unerring best, which is saying something, in 'The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby'. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
