Leave your thoughts about Drinking Buddies.
| Independent (UK)Francesca SteeleDrinking Buddies could suffer a little from its marketing, which may suggest to some audiences that it is just a regular rom com. But luckily, it is nothing like that. It is something much, much better. |
| Village VoiceZachary WigonWith dexterity and care, Swanberg illuminates our muddled perceptions of our own relationships. He fixates on the minutiae of hanging out, the stuff of little loves and lies, the feints and thrusts we make in sorting matters of head and heart. |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottDrinking Buddies, Joe Swanberg’s nimble, knowing and altogether excellent new film, refuses to dance to the usual tune. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussThe story meanders, purposefully, and doesn't lead to the places a similar studio film would go; Swanberg recognizes that disillusionmnet and disappointment are more frequent and universal occurences than heartbreak. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigIt's a meandering film that prompts the viewer to anticipate characters' actions. Fortunately, they don't take predictable paths. |
| Film Geek CentralAustin KennedyDRINKING BUDDIES is a surprisingly complex and charming movie about 2 best friends who are at a crossroads in their lives. Olivia Wilde gives her best performance to date, and her chemistry with Jake Johnson is a joy to watch. |
| ScreenAnarchyEric D. SniderIf this is the future of independent romantic comedies, sign me up. |
| CraveOnlineWilliam BibbianiA quietly thrilling romance, an amusingly serious drama, a lovable relationship captured on film. What more can we ask for? |
| Movie DearestFr. Chris CarpenterAn intimate and beautifully-observed drama. (Writer-director) Joe Swanberg's best, most accessible/identifiable film to date. |
| IndiewireEric KohnSwanberg once again shows a capacity for capturing small moments that exist outside the direction of the plot. At the same time, the effective fragments of "Drinking Buddies" take his oeuvre in a new direction by accumulating into a reworking big picture. |
