Variety
A smart, subtle and seriously funny dramedy bound to find favor with sophisticated auds.

Entertainment Weekly
Hunt's movie-directing debut frequently crackles with nice gags.

This is Hunt's show, and she delivers a strong performance that captures all the seriousness and absurdity of the avalanche of circumstances that comes crashing down on April's head. To say she's only half the director she is an actress is actually paying her quite a complement.

With subtle laughs but solid emotional thrust, it will play very well with older audiences.

Village Voice
In short, it's the kind of film that only a mother, which is to say my mother, would love.
