A frustratingly fragmented yet warmly intimate portrait of an evolving bond that frays but doesn't sever.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

Grippingly plotted and exquisitely thoughtful, 52 Tuesdays is a poignant reminder that neither confusion nor crisis is doomed to be calamitous.

Inkoo Kang, Village Voice

The sensitively observed drama is distinguished by its structurally adventurous approach and the intimacy of its storytelling.

David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter

Demonstrates a willingness to experiment that bodes well for future endeavors.
