The fullness of Duck Season is in direct proportion to its smallness; its modesty makes it bloom.

David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture
Fresh

Effortlessly nonchalant in its observations of kids and the way the world looks to them.

Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press

Imagine Waiting for Godot performed by The Breakfast Club.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten

Often dull dialogue and marginally interesting characters.

Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Fresh

A quiet, loopy gem, Duck Season is a goofball celebration of old friends, new beginnings, adolescent freedom, and baked goods laced with a little something extra.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
