Critic Reviews
The Onion (A.V. Club) | Noel MurrayAdd Critic to Favorites
To some extent, if you've seen one Swanberg film, you've seen them all; Nights And Weekends contains the usual mix of frank, awkward sex scenes and couples talking passive-aggressively around each other.Read the full review
Variety | Peter DebrugeAdd Critic to Favorites
Some may find the result boring or unpolished, but there's poetry -- not to mention a fair dose of comedy -- in the mix.Read the full review
The New York Times | Nathan LeeAdd Critic to Favorites
The problem with the movie is that James and Mattie exhibit little but shallow, infantile neurosis, with next to no hint of a complex -- or even legible -- inner life.Read the full review

On The Future of Film Festivals: Thoughts From The Top
05/12/09 "Joe Swanberg, a guy who has made five films in the past five years - all of which have premiered at SXSW and have been super low budget. His first film was made for $1200. It wasn't great, but it had some stuff in it, and it was actually kind of interesting. I noticed it, and thought 'this is a lot cheaper than film school.' And he came back the next year that was really exciting. It had great ideas in it - once again, not perfectly realized - but I was like, 'I'm gonna pay attention to this guy.' He's figured a way to work in a extremely limited budget frame, and each film has been leaps ahead of the next one. | indieWIRE -
