Reviews


40
Los Angeles Times - Gary Goldstein
The result is a chronically “meh” coming-of-age meets dysfunctional-family tale, with a particularly unsatisfying ending.
30
Village Voice - Unnamed
Director Xavier Manrique’s film fails to drum up more than clichés about rich-people problems.
30
TheWrap - Elizabeth Weitzman
The best way to watch Chronically Metropolitan is to think of it as a parody of a particularly pretentious brand of indie romance. Unfortunately, though, director Xavier Manrique and writer Nicholas Schutt (“Blood & Oil”) play it so solemnly straight for their feature debut that it seems unlikely they’re aiming for satire.

The New York Times - Ken Jaworowski
One longs to praise Mr. Manrique for attempting a serious-minded story in this, his first feature. But there needs to be a real reason to embrace it, rather than what’s on this screen.
