It's funny, clunky, earnest, and barely credible, but it's all of a piece.

David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten

Everything about Are You Here feels like a bottom-drawer script idea that was put together too casually and carelessly.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Rotten

Are You Here lacks more than just the question mark that should go on its title. It lacks a point-of-view that makes sense, that feels central.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten

"Are You Here" doesn't feel all there.

Tom Long, Detroit News
Fresh

"Are You Here" proves a gently immersive, ingratiating, often witty character comedy with a pair of comfortably effective lead performances.

Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
