Reception
Andrew Barker of Variety wrote, "But though this film mostly finds the helmer exploring ever-deeper recesses of his own navel, its moments of genuine insight and knack for pulling out the rug upend some of its faults."[2] Justin Lowe of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Less is less in another middling mumblecore outing."[3] Richard Brody of The New Yorker called it "a movie of terrible elegiac power".[4]
