Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Fresh
It may veer towards sentimentality, but overall this is a warm and absorbing melodrama.
Tom Huddleston, Time Out
Fresh
Entertains at a TV sitcom level, with its pithy dialogue, its chorus of thinly drawn caricatures and its cozy sense of mockery towards the failed social experiments of past generations. But as serious cinema, it feels limited for the same reasons.
Stephen Dalton, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
Aims for a bittersweet release of feeling that lands, at its most misjudged points, closer to emotional sadism.
