| JWRS. James WeggThe genre of road-trip-leading-to-self-discovery now has another masterpiece in its cinematic vault. |
| Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenThe beautifully acted serio-comedy takes a potentially smirky premise -- a chance dirty phone call between an introverted writer and a persuasive mystery woman becomes a meaningful long-distance relationship -- and turns it into something that really reaches out and touches you. |
| The SkinnyJamie DunnWhat might sound like the set-up for a particularly bawdy Judd Apatow comedy is actually a deceptively sweet tale of twenty-first century alienation. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressDavy's experience never plays out precisely as you would expect and I, for one, guessed wrong just about every time right up to the poignant, perfectly-acted finale that does provide some closure while opening up a whole new set of life questions. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThis fresh and flawless adaptation of an autobiographical story by Davy Rothbart is a joy to behold. Its people are in their 20s, but what they experience is ageless, timeless and universal. |
| Empire MagazinePhilip WildingExcellent American indie that tugs hard on the heartstrings. |
| New York PressArmond WhiteAlvarez's sincere, probing look at male inexperience creates a modest but bold contrast to the age of snark. His shock of recognition is a humanist landmark. |

| ScotsmanAlistair HarknessWhat could have been a film that exploits a potentially salacious premise for artificially comedic or edgy effect, feels instead like an honest and truthful dissection of the sometimes-strange way modern relationships can work. |
| Time OutS. James SnyderGeraghty’s performance is harrowing: Clinging to the phone and tortured by his ecstasy, he weaves empathy out of a flawed loner’s dysfunctional fetish. |
