Critic Reviews
-
Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer
A not too funny, not too sad, largely improvised dramedy about two nice people who both succumb to the seven-year-itch and live to regret it.
-
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Aselton gets a lot said in 78 minutes. I think the main thing she says is something never overtly spoken, that life is essentially a lonely experience - even when we're surrounded by activity, and even if we never shut up.
-
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Though its premise seems ripe for a high-concept studio yukfest, The Freebie is all the better for its low-budget, human-scale approach.
-
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
Katie Aselton has achieved the seemingly impossible. She's turned a movie about sex into a boring, talky snooze.
-
Stephen Holden, New York Times
A smart seriocomic playlet with some emotionally harsh moments, although it refrains from plumbing its subject in agonizing depth.
