Critic Reviews

Both heartfelt and tough-minded.Full Review

Carla Meyer
San Francisco Chronicle

Hedges's intelligent and touching farce, Pieces of April, makes an important contribution to a small and insignificant subgenre: Thanksgiving Day failure. It does so by raising the bar.Full Review

A.O. Scott
The New York Times

A Thanksgiving family reunion comedy that sparkles with acerbic wit, original characters and genuine heart.Full Review

David Rooney
Variety

It turns out to be an especially warm comedy with a hidden heart. It's a film whose humor has feeling behind it because writer-director Peter Hedges doesn't let his comedy overpower an understanding of how emotionally weighted family situations are always going to be.Full Review

Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times

This film explores what low-budget films do best: the quirkiness of character, and slightly off-kilter comedy.Full Review
