Critic Reviews

There are no simple answers or obvious conclusions to be gleaned from this movie, which, like its soundtrack, is both sad and vibrant, meandering and formally sure-footed. It is an exciting debut, and a film that, without exaggeration or false modesty, finds interest and feeling in the world just as it is.Full Review

Medicine For Melancholy offers a personal spin on the "walking around a city" genre.Full Review

Noel Murray
The Onion A.V. Club

Under the subdued, dignified surface, this movie - about the 24 hours after a one-night stand - churns with a filmmaker's fascination and wonder, sadness and longing.Full Review

Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle

The narrative, at times, veers into overstatement, but for the most part we're allowed to eavesdrop on their self-examination guilt-free.Full Review
