Leave your thoughts about Meet Me in Montenegro.
| New York TimesNicolas RapoldThough Mr. Holdridge and Ms. Saasen feel genuine, they lack acting chops, and their screenplay’s self-consciousness about romantic clichés plays like a cliché itself. |
| The DissolveCraig J. ClarkHoldridge and Saasen should get credit for making sure the obstacles to their happiness aren’t romance-movie contrivances, but rather the sorts of things that—to paraphrase another famous writer—happen to people while they’re busy making other plans. |
| New York PostFarran Smith NehmeThere are no surprises, but for once there’s a set of artsy millennial characters who feel like real humans, and Berlin looks great. |
| Village VoiceDan GvozdenThe quiet honesty of Anderson and Lina's interactions and raw, often handheld camerawork wash away the film's meandering pace and sometimes grating dialogue. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovDirector of photography Robert Murphy deserves a Spirit Award of his own for his breathtaking and evocative lensing of ever-cinematic Berlin and Montenegro, and Stephen Coates’ melancholic score is equally suited to the story at hand. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenHoldridge and Saasen simply lack the acting chops to carry their feature, leaving them with a scenic but indulgent selfie of a big-screen romance. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckWhile this tale of a couple experiencing myriad romantic ups and downs has its occasional amusing and insightful moments, Meet Me in Montenegro doesn't quite render its characters' foibles endearing. |
| User ReviewMichael WGood independent flick. interesting to see something written, directed, and starred in by the same person. I'd recommend it as a good date movie, especially if you want to impress your date with your movie breadth. |
