  • Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle

    Harrowing and heartbreaking, On the Outs is persuasively performed by fine actors, yet has the real feel of a documentary.

  • Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

    It succeeds, if unevenly.

  • Joe Leydon, Variety

  • Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter

  • Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

    A starkly honest and affecting dramatic feature directed by Lori Silverbush and Michael Skolnik.
