This is an undoubtedly modest yet wholly pleasurable tale about the difficulties that come with letting go of youth.

David Jenkins, Time Out

With Marnie, Dollenmayer has managed to transform a sad sack into an indie screen goddess.

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
Rotten

While the film has a true lived-in feel, and demonstrates a burgeoning talent on the part of its young auteur, its portrait of young slackers lacks the freshness to overcome its all too vivid malaise.

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

By simply re-creating what he has observed, Bujalski has created a tender, funny and stealthily affecting portrait of youthful powerlessness and frustration.

Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times

This isn't improvisation, but rather an adroitly achieved randomness -- the perfect syntax for a generation-defining work about a generation marked by its very lack of definition.

Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly
