Reviews


90
The Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy
Reitman keeps a strong grip on all the aspects of the story to prevent it from becoming corny, unduly melodramatic or obvious.
83
IndieWire - Eric Kohn
There's a certain elegant simplicity to the movie's execution that maintains a spirit of familiarity but also keeps the material afloat.
77
Film.com - William Goss
Jason Reitman’s adaptation of Joyce Maynard’s Labor Day is as consistently assured a piece of filmmaking as any we’ve seen from the filmmaker and very much in keeping with the decreasingly glib nature of his output.
70
Variety - Peter Debruge
To the extent that Adele’s hunger for affection resonates with audiences, what emerges is a powerful — if implausible — romance.

Los Angeles Times - Betsy Sharkey
The film finds its footing as the weekend progresses and the temperature and tension — outside and in — rise.
