Flicks, Giles Hardie
flicksYou can’t have it both ways, Jason. You can’t set up a deeply contrived film, then refuse to conclude your film because life is messy.
Variety
pressFeels at once of-the-moment and too obvious by half, like a less overblown version of “Crash” for the information superhighway.
Time Out
pressThe first Reitman film to make the 36-year-old director seem about 400 years old.
The Guardian
pressA huge improvement on the muddled melodrama of Labor Day, Men, Women and Children is still a flawed Jason Reitman film.
Hollywood Reporter
pressSkillfully navigates through the personal melodramas of many characters with a nice sense of balance and a sharp appreciation of generational differences.
Entertainment Weekly
pressThe problem isn't so much what the film is saying but its shrill, alarmist tone.
