| ColliderTaylor GatesA true dramedy, it’s as raw and painful as it is refreshing and cathartic. Though nothing is tied up in a neat little bow at the end, you’re left with an undeniable feeling of hopefulness. You’re sure to laugh, and there’s a good chance you’ll shed a few tears, too. |
| The Film StageRory O'ConnorIt’s coarse to the touch but The Adults is a tender film. That those moments come in flashes only makes them all the more profound. |
| IndieWireSteph GreenIt may feel a little too surreally awkward and plodding in its first hour. But as a sweet movie smartly attuned to the power of the weirdo bonds that bind us to our family no matter the geographical distance or emotional dislocation, Defa achieves a sledgehammer of an ending in which not a single word rings false or feels sentimental. |
| Paste MagazineJesse HassengerTrue to its small, sometimes nearly microscopic, scale, The Adults draws a perfect miniature portrait of a highly specific demographic: People obsessed with doing bits, making up songs, and perpetuating their own inside jokes who nonetheless never turned to a life in the performing arts. |
| Screen DailyJonathan RomneyThe Adults is a gift to its actors, allowing them to explore the tensed-up taciturnity of emotional repression but also to go haywire with the voices and the crazily choreographed body language. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeThe Adults is most moving in its understanding of the trivial quips, asides and slight, splintered anecdotes that are sometimes all that remains between adult relatives who once shared richer connective tissue. |
| The PlaylistRafaela Sales RossAnchored by its competent trio of protagonists, The Adults would have been a lovely time if not for the overused mishmash of twee gimmicks. |
| Slant MagazinePat BrownThe Adults affectingly captures the uniquely American ennui provoked by the banalities of a hometown and the lost utopia of childhood. |
