"This film offers a literate script and is sensitively directed, it's a brilliant debut as a director for playwright Kenneth Lonergan."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews

Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
5/5
"Stylized showmen do
Rain Man
and
Forrest Gump
, but it takes a natural actor like Ruffalo to pull off this strange beauty."
PopMatters
Matthew Sorrento
3.5/4

"There was an emotional reality that I admired."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
"Hollywood doesn't usually make films about brothers and sisters and I can understand why. Who would want to watch a story about me bickering with my sister?"
