Much of the truth is conveyed in the two leads' performances, both of them itchy and disagreeable in the manner of someone trying to prevent a too-familiar conflict from bubbling up again.

John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter

It captures the awkwardness, loneliness and unacknowledged desperation that haunt us all but that are particularly poignant when seen among attractive 30-somethings.

Anita Gates, New York Times
Rotten

Before long, the film spills over into a ... somewhat questionable ... portrait of one hysterical woman.

Andrew Schenker, Time Out New York

At times it's unbearable. But as much as you may hate these twisted sisters, you also feel their pain.

Araceli Cruz, Village Voice

Displaying nerves of steel and a generous heart, helmer Adam Christian Clark takes a lot of chances with Caroline and Jackie.

John Anderson, Variety
