If nothing else, Hawke has managed to recreate, with neurological immediacy, the sensation of being harassed by a selfish, clueless ex-lover.

Everything we see is tinted by a rose-colored self-fondness, down to the perfectly mussed bedheads, the unusually capacious apartments, the lousy bar music that's supposed to be really good.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
Rotten
The movie is crisply shot and obviously heartfelt, but search elsewhere if you want the same honesty Hawke displayed as an actor in 1995's Before Sunrise and its 2004 sequel Before Sunset.
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
Rotten
[The two main characters] are in all honesty the least sympathetic and most egregiously boring romantic pair that I've seen onscreen in ages.
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Fresh
It's a small film, it's a mild recommendation, but I still think it's worth checking out.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
