| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamIt's about imperfections and dealing with the moment, and how the aftermath of death helps shape the way we handle life. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Jason GorberA dramedy about love, death and everything in between, and a fine feature debut by comedian Demitri Martin. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertA winning, winsome indie about love and loss. |
| Shockya.comHarvey S. KartenDemetri Martin proves to be a Renaissance man in directing, writing, editing, illustrating and as principal performer in the delightfully comic look at how father and son cope with grief. |
| New York TimesNeil GenzlingerIf Mr. Martin’s take on grief is facile, the movie overall is a pleasant trip, and Dean’s doodles — by Mr. Martin himself — are a treat. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonMartin crafts an amusing vehicle for his usual mix of self-deprecation and social awkwardness, while also poking fun at technology, boorish millennials and other absurdities. |
| indieWireDavid EhrlichThe lessons that Dean learns are pat and predictable, but this disarmingly winsome film is comfortable in the knowledge that universal truths can be the hardest things for people to discover for themselves. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyWhile the direction is capable, the writing isn't nearly as sharp as it needs to be. |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonWriter/actor/illustrator/stand-up comic Martin successfully adds "director" to his resume with this somewhat familiar but still funny and emotionally truthful dramedy. |
| The PlaylistAndy CrumpDean succeeds regardless of what it's missing, a fine first effort from Martin that nicely showcases his comedic style and handles its subject matter with gentle, friendly care. |
