	Author	Review
United States	Dana Stevens The New York Times	"Thrillingly smart, but not, like so many other pictures in this vein, merely an elaborate excuse for its own cleverness."	POS
United States	Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"Demands the utmost concentration, for to look away from the screen for even a brief moment is to risk losing a plot line or a crucial bit of information, but its cumulative, transporting impact makes it worth the effort."	POS
United States	David Stratton Variety	"This intelligent, engaging indie sets out to find a few answers and in the process introduces a clutch of interesting, very human characters"	POS

Canada	Liam Lacey The Globe and Mail	"Smart, serious and deftly composed (...) 'Thirteen Conversations About One Thing', is the kind of work you want to applaud just for its ambitions."	POS
