Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune Sep 20, 2013
2.5/4
Modest and good-looking, the film starts as dark comedy and ends in pathos. Director Alvarez makes the Oregon scenery a character unto itself. Go to Full Review

People who approach it as a film in its own right, with its own rhythms and goals and pleasures, will be amply rewarded. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Sep 19, 2013
2.5/5

6.7/10
We should love these characters, but Alvarez hurries by them and doesn't give us much of a chance to get acquainted. Go to Full Review
