	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"A sentimental journey with some agreeably wild detours."	POS
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz rogerebert.com	"Strong performances and compassionate storytelling distinguish this road movie about a widower and his estranged ex-convict son. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"A deliberate, gentle, genuinely caring debut (...) John Hawkes and Logan Lerman, both on very fine form, work enough worn human damage into proceedings that we invest in their joint healing."	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"A package which combines the arthouse credibility provided by the always impressive Hawkes, a forceful turn from Lerman, plus the Irish backdrop"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"John Hawkes and Logan Lerman shine in tough but tender father-son drama (...) Casually cathartic at times, cathartically casual at others"	POS
	Kaleem Aftab Cineuropa	"[Adalsteins] is going to win no prizes for originality in storytelling (...) 'End of Sentence' works best when taken as a character study of broken men"	NEU
Canada	Court Jarrell In The Seats	"A sweet, occasionally funny, and rather poignant story (...) While not wholly original, it treads the line of drama and schmaltz quite well (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"While the result’s humor entertains thanks to Lerman and Hawkes’ odd couple pairing, the drama bubbling beneath the surface drives things forward."	POS
United Kingdom	Phuong Le The Guardian	"A film that is at its best when the camera takes a step back and simply allows the action to unfold (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
