Critical reception
- "Refreshingly free of cliches."[12] - The Hollywood Reporter
- "Delicate. suggests Tiny Furniture with a french twist. persistently charming." - Indiewire[13]
- “An elegance of construction scarcely seen in like-minded indie comedies." - MTV[14]
- "Mumbly dialogue, relentlessly jittery camerawork, a star who is also co-director and co-writer: Yes, it's time for another movie that mistakes the claustrophobic world of young New York artsy types for something interesting." - New York Times[15]
- "Yet another dull entry in the indie downtown New York artist genre. So young and so vapid ... a study of the self-obsessed and utterly deluded, wasting their lives, shot with trendily quivering hand-helds and every other mumblecore cliché in the book." - Film Journal International[16]
- "Featuring gorgeous photography, solid performances and an absolutely killer soundtrack."[17] - CriterionCast
- "What comes through strongest is its Woody Allen-esque treatment of Brooklyn, complete with golden light, beautiful young women, glamorous locations and plenty of appealingly tortured—or insufferably neurotic, depending on your point of view—artists."[18] - Slant Magazine
- "Inspired by John Cassavettes and the Nouvelle Vague’s observations of human beings and Jacques Demy’s charming atmosphere."[19] The Red List
