Gives a hell of a first impression, but the deeper we delve into the screenplay, the more obvious it becomes that there's not much going on under the surface.

At Middleton is a modest movie with modest aims, but at times it feels like a small miracle.
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten
Some truths about George and Edith's underlying emotional state come out in an unconventional and interesting way, but it's not enough to make us care about the attraction that is drawing them closer.
Mary Houlihan, Chicago Sun-Times

Both Garcia and Farmiga dive head-on into raging rapids of doubt, pain and recrimination.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Rotten
None of this is particularly innovative, although Garcia and the elder Farmiga develop a nice spark and a gentle humor in their characters' stolen day together.
Sara Stewart, New York Post
