Murray manages, almost impossibly, to come up with still another rich variation on his Depleted Man persona, and his performance is at once enormously generous and fiercely, concisely witty.
Ken Tucker, New York Magazine/Vulture
Fresh
There's a real poignancy in watching Murray's emotional chill thaw from the heat generated by even the idea of romance, or at least its more libidinous evil twin, lust.
Nathan Rabin, AV Club
Fresh
A very gentle and wry outing for Jarmusch and his star.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Fresh
Completely charming, but ultimately slight.
Tom Long, Detroit News
