For a drama that's as quiet and circumspect as "Chronic," it's a decidedly bold film, one that pulls few punches as it slowly peels away the emotional layers of its complex protagonist.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

Chronic doesn't traffic in cliche or glamorize sickness. Rather than spoon-feed platitudes, it presents failing bodies and leaves the audience wondering what to think.
Abbey Bender, Village Voice
