| HitFixDan FienbergClement is the reason that Will is tolerable, because if you look at the character's on-the-page actions, he's not an especially well-developed man-child. |
| Arizona RepublicRandy CordovaPeople Places Things is filled with that kind of heart-piercing comedy that makes a viewer cringe and laugh at the same time. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansClement is funny and touching as the heartbroken artist, and he and Hall have a sparkling chemistry. |
| SF WeeklySherilyn ConnellyPeople Places Thingsdoes leave some threads unresolved at the end, but then again, so does life. |
| Consequence of SoundJustin GerberPeople, Places, Things manages to find a pocket within the genre that is light, hopeful, and likeable sans characters transforming into shrews or unredeemable jerks. It's good, and that's just fine. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenAs the movie fizzles, Mr. Clement’s endearing performance breathes what little life is left into a movie that, much like the insufferable Charlie, can’t make up its mind about where to go or how to get there. |
| ScreenAnarchyJason GorberPeople, Places, Things radiates a warmth and calm which is comforting, a lovely little film that's both entertaining and sweet. It's a bit bleak without being cynical, and moving without being saccharine. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternAn off-kilter romantic comedy in which everything turns out the way you might have hoped it would if you hadn’t been kept in a state of happy suspense along the way. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfStrouse deserves credit for balancing the needs of the heart and comedy, crafting a lovely little indie production that's finely observed and strongly acted. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldAs the movie progresses, Will learns, in his low-key way, that life is full of unexpected twists, that love is hard to put away, and that people who share children can never fully leave each other. |
