3/5
"When de Sève tries to rope in a wider context, the film flounders to an extent that will keep it from reaching much of a wider audience"

Chris Barsanti
3/5
"
Tying the Knot
is a flawed work that succeeds on the merits of its highly touching personal stories and its irrefutable debate."
eFilmCritic.com
David Cornelius
B
"Not only offers useful information but contains moments of gravity and pathos that genuinely touch the heart."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
B+
"Exhibits an accomplished maturity from the first-time director, deftly applying a dry wit, a healthy sense of irony, and a nonexploitive approach to emotionality."
Mixed Reviews
Gabriel Shanks
"
Tying the Knot
is effective ... in its depiction of the struggle for same-sex couples to achieve legal equality, but it gives short shrift to the opposing arguments."
Pajiba
Jeremy C. Fox

Larry Carroll
3.5/5
"Offers a refreshingly strong and lucid examination of the issue, even if it's edited a bit chaotically, cross-cutting between its various strands."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
8/10
"Ironic & powerful, delving beneath bluster and bigotry to explain what the institution of marriage really means in the context of today's society."
