| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsIf the ending is quietly harrowing, it is only because what goes before, so painstakingly put together, gives power to the coming apart of the key characters' lives and dreams. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchAll the dialogue is improvised, which gives the film a raw, honest feeling of actors digging into their shared creations but inevitably engenders a static, theatrical air. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Tim RobeyVery much in the Joanna Hogg vein of excruciating bourgeois discord, Jon Sanders's low-budget drama about unhappily married Brits draws plenty of blood. |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonA micro-budget Brit flick with an experimental flavour that generates real insights into married life. |
| Total FilmKevin HarleyThe cast cut into the tough truths of late-life relations. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel it ain't. |
| ViewLondonJennifer TateA delicate study of complex relationships, Late September is a thought-provoking and insightful drama about the deep, underlying problems of a marriage, containing authentic performances from its unknown cast. |
| Little White LiesSophie Monks KaufmanThe composition is occasionally so static that one occasionally fears the screen has frozen. |

| Time OutTrevor JohnstonMuch as one wants to root for indie cinema, this just isn't in the same universe as Mike Leigh or Joanna Hogg. |
