1/4
Not even the able actors that Glanz somehow managed to rope into his project can do much with the draggy story and the vapid characters that they have been given to play. Go to Full Review
Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times Sep 5, 2014
Like so many filmmaking wunderkinds who could have used a course in common sense, Glanz is technically assured but emotionally hollow. Go to Full Review

2/5
It takes effort to turn a movie with a cast as appealing as the one in "The Longest Week" into a grating exercise in narcissism, but writer and director Peter Glanz proves up to the task. Go to Full Review

2/5
Despite a nicely chosen cast and a handful of flourishes borrowed from the works of cinematic masters, there's little carbonation to this stale elixir that too often depends on cliché. Go to Full Review

Tiresome romcom doesn't live up to promise; some iffy stuff. Go to Full Review
Melissa Weller Paste Magazine Sep 11, 2014
4.1/10
Throughout the film, the writing is heady but heartless, as if Glanz means to occupy the intellectual high ground by exploiting tired romantic clichés and passing off his finger pointing as evidence of self-righteousness. Go to Full Review

Kylo M Jan 13, 2019 BOTH of us fell asleep on this - really bad!
Albus L Nov 5, 2018 this is like high school drama for old people?. Will watch something else using boxxy software
Han S Jul 6, 2018 Had to stop midway because it was so contrived and boring. I couldn't care about a single character. It just felt like a movie I've seen a million times. I had no desire to see it again. See more
Jul 4, 2018 Okay, so the director is very clearly influenced by Wes Anderson and wants you to know that. There is a shot (Conrad putting on a record) that is obviously stolen from Royal Tenenbaums. I probably would have rated it higher if it wasn't apparent that this guy just watched Wes Anderson's film collection before deciding to make this. I'm kind of shocked by how much this film seems to be disliked, because it is entertaining. The humor in it is in the title: this movie takes place over a week. Of course there isn't that much character development because it's only a week, but it's hilarious how over the top these characters are that they manage to flippantly go from event to event over this short amount of time. It's a play on how people try to fill voids in their life so extremely and quickly. My review probably sounds arrogant, but that's what this movie is: embracingly arrogant. See more
Draco W Jul 4, 2018 While I agree the visuals are much like wes anderson the dialogue and music is definitely a woody allen facsimile. I enjoyed it but felt the filmmaker took too many notes from other directors. See more
Albus R May 22, 2018 With the jazz song that played in the background throughout the entire film, it seemed like it was trying to emulate a Woody Allen film, but it lacked a plot. The characters were unsympathetic. This movie was a waste of 86 minutes. See more
