Gray and Sam are brother and sister and best friends, flatmates in New York City, where she creates ad campaigns and he's a surgery intern. Their social life is too insular, so they head to a dog park so Sam can, maybe, meet a woman. He does - Charlie - a zoologist new in the city; he likes her immediately, and the feeling seems mutual. As the three of them spend time together, what if Gray's feelings for Charlie aren't just sisterly? Not only might this explain her solitary life, but it could lead to real dilemmas - with Charlie (who's sweet, but a bit opaque) and with Sam. No advice comes from Gray's therapist, but a co-worker and a cab driver give theirs. Can Gray sort things out?

| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullGray's matters are pretty mundane, to tell you the truth |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldSome of it works, most of it doesn't. But the real problem of the movie is that it's so utterly lacking in freshness and originality. This is exactly the kind of formulaic indie gay comedy that was so overdone in the '80s and '90s that it became a film festival cliché. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongOne of those completely disposable and clumsy attempts to make a gay romantic comedy that constantly slips on its own good intentions. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekSo utterly synthetic that though set in New York, it might as well be happening on another planet...despite the title, Gray doesn't matter at all. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanGraham makes the coming-out dithering bearable, but not before she has jumped through hoops of contrivance. |
| Greenwich Village GazetteEric LurioThis is a chick flick, one of the chickiest chick flicks of the decade so far. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerGraham was good in films such as "Boogie Nights" and "Bowfinger" where her apparent innocence was a smoke screen for her lustful connivance. To be effective in the movies, she needs something to counteract her wholesomeness. |
| TheMovieChicks.comCherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann PaloneThis movie falls into the gray area between good and just okay. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersKramer has fashioned her cinematic debut with sitcom-like familiarity, too much of the film playing like randomly frenzied vignettes each of them ramming one into the other with all the subtlety of a brick thrown through a plate glass window. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsWatching Heather Graham, Tom Cavanagh and a stridently adorable Alan Cumming do their wide-eyed, moony thing in the romantic comedy Gray Matters raises the question: Is it possible for a filmgoer to be twinkled to death? |
