Hitfix - Unnamed
[Crudup] responds with a performance that's funny, heartbreaking and confidently musical, anchoring a film with a challenging and sometimes shaky premise that very much requires his steadying presence.

The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
Though some plot elements are pushily therapeutic, they're offset by others whose novelty distinguishes Rudderless from movies of its sort.
75
The Playlist - Unnamed
It’s an ambitious and strong first start for Macy’s filmmaking career as he’s clearly taken a note or two from some of the great filmmakers he’s worked for. Don’t let the title of this film fool you—Rudderless is solid.
67
The A.V. Club - Jesse Hassenger
Rudderless accumulates puzzling details and goodwill in near-equal measure.
60
The Dissolve - Genevieve Koski
Rudderless’ biggest flaw is that it’s overly committed to its trajectory, creating obvious cause-and-effect scenarios rather than letting its characters simply live and act within the situation the story places them in.
