	Media	Author	Review
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"This surprisingly bland indie version of the generic mainstream romantic comedy has talent to burn, none of it put to good use"
		Mark Adams Screendaily	"A sweet and rather familiar rom-com, 'A Case Of You' is carried along thanks to engaging led performances from [Long and Wood] but in the end flounders rather as it tries to pack too much into its slender storyline"
		Andy Webster The New York Times	"While this unrelentingly midtempo movie milks Brooklyn for its chic, it manages to denude it of its color"
		Rodrigo Perez IndieWire	"Insipid, painful (...) 'A Case of You' employs every unendurable cliché in the book"
		Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club	"The movie is about as generic as modern romantic comedies get; even its occasional pleasures (...) are rooted in genre tropes and archetypes"
