Akiva Gottlieb
Village Voice
An average film starring an average character actor, but maybe that's the point. This is a story about the benefits of just showing up. Even at its most sentimental, Riegert's pet project possesses a lived-in integrity that nearly offsets the staleness of the material. Full Review
Dennis Harvey
Variety
Lacks the stylistic attention to psychological distress that might have lent it maximum impact. Instead, the pic is amiable, kinda charming, visually routine, and incisive in individual sequences. Full Review
Desson Thomson
Washington Post
A warm, unexpectedly moving portrait of a man on the verge of what could either be a dreadful or delightful second chapter. Full Review
Ella Taylor
L.A. Weekly
I've never quite figured out what the poker-faced Peter Riegert does as an actor, but his matter-of-fact minimalism is always funny and affecting. Full Review

The Hollywood Reporter
King of the Corner has been adapted from Gerald Shapiro's "Bad Jews and Other Stories" and suffers from an odd, disjointed quality. Full Review
