Critical reception

[edit | edit source]
  • "Refreshingly free of cliches."[9] - The Hollywood Reporter
  • Indiewire's Eric Kohn praised the film, describing it as "a gentle NYC delight" and giving it a B+ grade.[10]
  • "An elegance of construction scarcely seen in like-minded indie comedies." - MTV[11]
  • "Featuring gorgeous photography, solid performances and an absolutely killer soundtrack."[12] - CriterionCast
  • "What comes through strongest is its Woody Allen-esque treatment of Brooklyn, complete with golden light, beautiful young women, glamorous locations and plenty of appealingly tortured—or insufferably neurotic, depending on your point of view—artists."[13] - Slant Magazine
  • "Inspired by John Cassavettes and the Nouvelle Vague's observations of human beings and Jacques Demy's charming atmosphere."[14] The Red List
