Leave your thoughts about Some Days Are Better Than Others.
| Portland OregonianShawn LevyThe delicacy of the film might frustrate some audiences. As if watching a listless young relative do nothing in particular with his or her life, you sometimes want to shake these folks by the shoulders and tell them to get in gear. But then you realize that life has many gears and that moving slowly and somewhat aimlessly is no sin. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisThe film itself seems to be going nowhere slowly, but in this case, that's mostly a good thing. It allows observant writer-director Matt McCormick to take his time on the small moments and make us care more about his characters. |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonA sensitive and soulful film, populated by characters recognizably weighed down by both circumstance and a greater, free-floating ambivalence. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonThis movie throws in a healthy dose of "quirky" shots and montages as if they were required. |
| The New York TimesMike HaleAs a meditation Some Days has its virtues - if you're in the market for a picture-postcard bummer - but it will leave your mellowed mind pretty quickly. |
| indieWireBrandon JudellSort of a neutered Todd Solondz comedy. No sperm shots, murders, or pedophilia. Just lonely people trying to reach out now and then to each other, plus numerous shots of the sun's rays reacting on soap bubbles. |
| Seattle TimesPaul de BarrosIf you want to draw the line between a quiet, touching little movie and a wooden, deadly boring dud, you might want to see Portland director Matt McCormick's "Some Days Are Better Than Others," but I wouldn't recommend it. |
| Time OutSam AdamsCast largely with untrained actors and musician friends, including Shins singer James Mercer and Sleater-Kinney alumna Carrie Brownstein, Some Days unspools in a depressive deadpan that might be more effective were the characters' plights not so clearly of their own making. |
| New York PressLeslie StonebrakerMcCormick has translated song into cinema, where tone and feeling supersede plot and arc. |
| User ReviewDaniel SSome movies are better then others. I did enjoy this flick and would recommend this film to my friends. |
