After Isaac's blind girlfriend walks out on him, his life goes into free fall, and he directs an unhinged staging of Chekhov's "The Seagull," attends the Passover Seder from hell, and attempts to woo a new flame.

Critics Consensus

Lemon succeeds in its aim as a tart satire, but audiences may find this foray into abrasiveness too sour to swallow.

2.5/5

[Janicza] Bravo and co-writer/spouse [Brett] Gelman have crafted something so intentionally and self-reflexively off-putting that I'm still banging my head against the wall trying to figure out if it's comic gold or just lives up to its title.

Be prepared for what will prove to be far and away the longest 83 minutes you'll spend watching a movie this year.

It's a case of truth in advertising.

3.5/5

Bravo's depiction of its protagonist challenges social conventions while also displaying certain awkward scenarios. Brilliantly directed and shot that it may overshadow its narrative.

Ultimately, Bravo seems to assume we'll sympathize with him for the sole reason that he is the protagonist...

I've never felt awkward watching a movie. This entire movie was one 90 minute awkward scene and I'd like my spare change back I used to rent this from iTunes. Wow.

What can I say, maybe is not great, but I love weird movies about weird people, and this is done in a nice and original way!

Pretty unusual but not entirely original, Lemon isn't a lemon, it just needed to be sweeter.

Certain qualities here, made me really want to like this one. But by the time it was through - I was shit out of luck.
