Critic Reviews

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
A pleasant, inconsequential indie with deep Minneapolis roots, "Stuck Between Stations" should please youth-oriented Minnesota audiences. It's unlikely to set the rest of the planet on fire.
Andy Webster, New York Times
There are no easy payoffs in "Stuck Between Stations," but the chemistry of its stars is reward enough.
Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice
There's an overapplication of split-screen and woozy soundtrack cues to this end, but Lister Jones and Rosen do an appealing back-and-forth with lively dialogue, not dulled in the interest of realism.
John Anderson, Variety
Real people may not be this glib and witty, but Rosen and Lister-Jones sell us on Casper and Becky nonetheless.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul), St. Paul Pioneer Press
The movie has a meandery structure and the gimmicky split-screen technique used to distract us from the familiar goings-on doesn't get the job done.
Chris Cabin, Slant Magazine
Brady Kiernan's Stuck Between Stations has sweetness to it, but it's a sweetness borrowed from innumerable other films and constantly corrupted by biased politics and crass emotional digressions.
Fred Topel, Screen Junkies
Stuck Between Stations moved well enough that I wanted to stay with it. It definitely gets to a point where it says something unique.
