Leave your thoughts about In Our Nature.
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckA quiet, nearly plot-free drama enlivened by beautifully nuanced performances by its four-person leading ensemble, In Our Nature depicts familiar dysfunctional family dynamics with a welcome lack of melodrama. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressLike Carnage it gets off to a rocky start in keeping all its protagonists from leaving the movie. But if you can make it past that - and John Slattery helps a bunch - Brian Savelson's film settles into a nicely mature story about airing grievances. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA drama filled with the same kind of emotional fireworks that animate the gripping familial interactions in works by Arthur Miller and Eugene O'Neill. |
| Film Journal InternationalShirley SealyBrian Savelson generally eschews emotional fireworks to create this small and intimate study of how difficult it is to repair broken relationships while trying to preserve those that look promising. |
| Austin American-StatesmanMatthew OdamThe characters in this family drama are not given enough backstory or nuance to make their problems feel real, and none of the characters warrants much interest or compassion. |
| The PlaylistTodd GilchristAs prophetic as it is provocative, exploring dysfunction, in a recognizable but no less satisfying way. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeWriter-director Brian Savelson drags four characters all the way out to the woods to orchestrate the sort of politely confrontational chamber piece best suited to an Off Off Broadway stage in In Our Nature, an eloquent but overly rehearsed drama. |
| Paste MagazineChristine N. ZiembaYes, the pacing of In Our Nature is slow, and drags near the film's halfway point, but the top-notch ensemble propels the film forward, adding complexity to the characters while leaving the over-the-top melodrama for Lifetime. |
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayBrian Savelson's small-scaled domestic drama In Our Nature evokes a specific, fairly common experience: when two young lovers expose a still-blossoming relationship to their relatives' stifling attention. |
| Austin ChronicleLeah ChurnerA study in fine gradations of resentment in the great outdoors, In Our Nature is a little too subtle for this genre. Country-house-fiasco films are only satisfying when the shit truly hits the fan. |
