| Village VoiceChuck WilsonVibrant cameo performances by two of our most engaging young actors—Jesse Eisenberg and Jason Ritter—along with one film legend—Tippi Hedren—transform this modest comedy into something special. |
| The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerFree Samples is a modest but pleasant small-budget movie with two bits of laziness in the script, but one particularly sweet performance that makes up for them. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierWeixler is a delight, and director Tom Gammill captures the right level of deadpan to pull this off. |
| Easy Reader (California)Neely SwansonNever pretending to be something that it isn't, this film is slight and satisfying even if it, at times, seems more like a thesis film than the feature that is intended. |
| Los Angeles TimesAmy NicholsonFree Samples is a film about wasting time, and it feels like it. Despite clocking in at 79 minutes, Jay Gammill's comedy drags by no fault of its delightfully sour lead. |
| Slant MagazineR. Kurt OsenlundAn angry indie that favors hollow ridicule over credibility. |
| User ReviewRafael Sfilme delicioso. leve, despretencioso e ainda assim consistente |
| User ReviewBetty SI like the wit of the movie. I was up late and it was the only indie that I was compelled to watch. It 's a young transitional woman having a really tough day facing reality, but then how can it turn out bad if Jesse Eisenberg has and interest in her? |
| User ReviewNels WFunny and quirky and rough in spots, just like an indie movie should be. |
| User ReviewJeff HAn interesting look at the quarter-life existential crisis. a young woman is approached by self-mirrors in many forms and forced to face some hard truths about her life and her choices. |
