Like Cassavetes' A Woman Under the Influence, Ade's film is as unpredictable and ambiguous as it is raw.

Rob Nelson, Minneapolis Star Tribune

It's about private, emotional phenomena: the tiny tremors and imperceptible shifts that bring a couple closer together or drive them apart, almost without their noticing.

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

This is a film that will surely try the patience of some, but there's wisdom here: jagged shards of wisdom, at the very least.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Resolutely odd, near static at times and yet strangely effective, Everyone Else goes nowhere in particular, but then that's the point.

Tom Long, Detroit News

It's an impressive achievement: The film reveals things about each person's inner world, and how it looks to the other, without making us feel as if we're lost in a house of mirrors.

Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle
