	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Scenes from a dead marriage (...) Hope Gap may engage the mind up to a point with its pithy dialogue and resourceful players, but it offers little insight into the complexities and wages of wedlock"	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A modest, tasteful family drama (...) Hope Gap will appeal to older viewers and fans of the two leads"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Slow and stuffy, like a filmed play, but also considerably more nuanced and mature than your typical relationship drama"	POS
United States	Robert Abele The Wrap	"'Hope Gap' presents itself as something messy and confounding, but it’s a spill of feelings too organized and engineered to join the ranks of memorable divorce dramas"	NEU
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"Annette Bening stumbles in empty divorce drama (...) Nicholson fails to give his film the specificity and emotional depth required to make it seem necessary (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"A ferocious Annette Bening elevates this dour divorce drama (...) [A] fussy, unfocused adaptation"	NEU
United States	Christy Lemire rogerebert.com	"The characters and their relationship are depicted in such superficial fashion that we don’t get a hold on who they are or why this bond ever mattered (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
