---|---|---|---|---|
"A smart, subtle and seriously funny dramedy bound" | ||||
"Hunt, in her directorial debut, can't seem to decide whether she'd rather make a spicy ethnic dish or bland comfort food" | ||||
"A fine, tense, unpredictable comedy of mixed-up emotions and sudden illuminations." | ||||
"Suffers from a lack of pure confidence in the story, the actors or the audience" | ||||
"While there are plenty of laughs, Hunt doesn't play this for farce. Even Midler gives perhaps the most restrained, and arguably the most winning, performance of her screen career." | ||||
"Has some nice moments, but it feels very much like a first film. The pacing is off, and the cast members appear to be acting in completely different project" | ||||
"There are some wise observations about parenting. Hunt draws some good performances from the cast and wisely chose a low-key personal story for her directorial debut" |
