Formally impressive but tedious.

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

In place of Before Sunrise's verbal fireworks, the aptly named Quiet City offers something more like linguistic sparklers -- modest, yes, but charming all the same.

Nathan Rabin, AV Club

Although the movie is hardly more ambitious than its young protagonists, there's a lot of value in a lazy day. Quiet City knows where to find it.

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

A talkfest like this is ripe for disaster, but Quiet City succeeds thanks to its two leads, Erin Fisher as Jamie and Cris Lankenau as Charlie. They're attractive and likable, and they hold our interest throughout.

V.A. Musetto, New York Post
Rotten

Proof positive that life's mundanities are even more tedious projected onto a movie screen.

Mark Holcomb, Time Out New York
