Leave your thoughts about Donald Cried.
| Willamette WeekIsabel ZachariasDonald Cried employs that darkly comedic, funny but almost unwatchable sensibility that is slowly becoming... the dominant vocabulary of modern funniness -- but its sharp realism makes it a unique chunk of low-budget gold. |
| National PostChris KnightThe characters are so utterly believable. |
| Spliced PersonalitySean BurnsA gaspingly funny, squirm-inducing comedy of embarrassment. |
| Paste MagazineEric NelsonDonald Cried is free of "nice guy" characters and never relies on raunchy humor, the exclusions of which give the movie a greater sense of verisimilitude. |
| Washington City PaperTricia OlszewskiDonald Cried may not make you laugh, but every moment of it will make you feel. |
| VarietyNick SchagerIn virtually every closeup, Donald Cried practically seethes with barely suppressed emotion, though Avedisian cannily couches his characters’ very real, raw feelings amid a ridiculousness born of Donald’s wholesale weirdness. |
| Brooklyn MagazineKenji FujishimaLike any person worth knowing, warts and all, the more we get to know Donald and Peter, the more affecting the film becomes. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenDonald Cried is an acutely insightful, exquisitely written and acted triumph for Mr. Avedisian, who understands how the past permanently clings to us. |
| Slant MagazineElise NakhnikianFinding the drama and humor in everyday situations like these isn't easy, but Avedisian makes it look as natural as swinging on a vine. |
| The PlaylistGary GarrisonDonald Cried is a film of small moments (that is almost marred by an explosive one) and it seems intent to linger in wistfulness, in the sort of hushed sadness that never becomes a fever pitch, but is all the better for it. |
