4.5/5
"A very detailed portrait of a time and place that is about to change forever. This is a Long Island of 1976 in someone's memory, like a faded Polaroid in an old shoebox."  CinemaBlend.com  Brian Holcomb

A-
"Contains a dramatic soul, muddied indie-film ease, and pure intention that completely wins you over by the last frame."  eFilmCritic.com  Brian Orndorf

2.5/5
"just writing this review makes me want to take a nap."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

3/4
"...a low-key yet thoroughly entertaining drama..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

C
"A rather drab dramedy that, despite the title and some very real virtues, doesn't really dig deep or true enough."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

4/5
"A scruffy drama about four diggers on Long Island in 1976 who are dragged kicking and screaming into changing their lives."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

2.5/5
"It's not a plot-driven piece, but rather an examination of characters and how they are forced to come of age long after they should have."  Film School Rejects  Kevin Carr

2.5/4
"Captures the way in which love and feelings about the past can sometimes be conflicted, if not downright irrational."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

2.5/5
"Diggers isn't a bad film, but the underlying premise -- the longing one feels to escape from a dead-end, small town life -- has been so beaten to death in the movies."  Film Threat  Pete Vonder Haar

4/5
"A movie doesn't have to be unique in order for it to work, and Diggers provides just enough wit, warmth and insight to warrant a visit."  Cinematical  Scott Weinberg

7/10
"It is wholly Good. A pity that it doesn't have any real desire to be Great."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton
