Critic Reviews

John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter
A pre-Cyrus film by the Duplass Brothers bolsters their rep as distinctive low-budget auteurs.
Peter Debruge, Variety
A delightfully scrappy backburner passion project from Jay and Mark Duplass.
David Roark, Paste Magazine
In a time where movies continue to feel more and more disconnected and bleak, the film envelopes the viewer with its warmness -- a glowing optimism and sincere sense of humanity brought home with each punch zoom.
