Critic Reviews

An unassuming gem: an impishly funny, melancholy, absolutely delightful English ensemble drama. Full Review

David Edelstein
Slate

By allowing the stories to play off one another and allowing layers of meaning to accumulate before we even notice them, the filmmakers capture some of the essential strangeness of life -- the way our relations are governed by laws that remain invisible to us until art reveals their workings.Full Review

Dana Stevens
The New York Times

Charming, disarming and in some ways humbling film.Full Review

Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times

The thread that winds through their stories is love lost and connections found, but only the audience is able to weave it into something to keep.Full Review

Ty Burr
Boston Globe

Its protagonists' hearts aren't lawless so much as stuck in various states of quiet desperation, and the modest charms of this observant, affecting film fortunately bear little relation to the sensationalistic label.Full Review
