| Awards CircuitJoey MagidsonMixing sexiness with sweetness, while also avoiding the dating app culture, this is almost a timeless film. |
| Film ThreatMatthew PassantinoIn a Relationship doesn’t break any new ground and Boyd understands that. Instead of attempting to reinvent the wheel, he focuses on his character’s flaws and insecurities offering biting one-liners and honest moments that elevate In a Relationship to a bit above the norm. |
| FlavorwireJason BaileyThe formidable charm of Emma Roberts (and supporting player Greta Lee) is wasted in this strained romantic comedy/drama from writer/director Sam Boyd. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoWhile you may not see the characters ever sit down to eat, the film itself has plenty of bite. |
| Film InquiryKristy StrouseIt's difficult to imagine that a rom-com about twenty somethings in LA could bring anything new to the table, but In a Relationship is just charming and funny enough to avoid problematic narratives or clichés. |
| indieWireDavid EhrlichWhat Sam Boyd’s tender and winning debut feature lacks in originality and ambition, it makes up for in honesty and charm. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeThe movie is much funnier than the vast majority of indie comedies, serving as a great audition piece for a career of sitcom directing. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonLike its title, this exploration of the romantic travails of a quartet of angst-ridden millennials has all the depth and personality of a Facebook status update. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe upshot is a gentle, gossamer movie that, like its soundtrack, goes down easy and is almost instantly forgotten. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThough its tone is amiable and its performances are (mostly) professional, it's hard to care if these four people live happily ever after or never see each other again. |
