Modest and good-looking, the film starts as dark comedy and ends in pathos. Director Alvarez makes the Oregon scenery a character unto itself.

Despite smatterings of wit and a stable of skilled performers, "C.O.G." struggles to find a consistent tone, its episodic structure veering from farcical to poignant to dangerously raw.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

a dramedy that keeps you guessing where the main character is going (emotionally and physically) as he drifts from one odd situation to the next.
David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle

The film features snappy, hilarious bits among the coming-of-age vignettes, but it loses momentum as it winds toward a finish. You won't grow bored with the characters, but you might check your watch a few times.

For Sedaris fans, "C.O.G." is a regrettably patronizing washout.
