	Author	Review
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] has an unforced immediacy, effortlessly balancing off-center charm, compassion and a comic edge as it delves into the messy emotional territory of Alanna Francis' screenplay"	POS
Canada	Johanna Schneller The Globe and Mail	"All four characters are rendered as layered, believable humans, and I especially love how each resulting relationship has its own arc and rhythm."	POS
United States	Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"Nélisse and Pniowsky are a big part of the drama unfolding authentically with ample disdain and irritation respectively, but 'The Rest of Us truly' is Graham and Balfour’s show"	POS
Canada	Alex Hudson Exclaim!	"There's lots of tension, but it's compelling to watch the women bond under these strange circumstances (...) It packs a lot of emotional complexity into a small package."	POS
Canada	Norman Wilner Now Toronto	"It’s a small, delicate drama (...) It’s not a bad thing when a film leaves you wishing it were longer"	POS
United States	John Serba Decider	"An intimate drama that engages us for 80 minutes, and leaves us both satisfied, but also wanting a little more."	POS
