Leave your thoughts about Something, Anything.
| The Film StagePeter LabuzaDon't let the generic title fool you. Paul Harrill's Something, Anything gently tells its story through detailed specificity. |
| Slant MagazineJaime N. ChristleyThe film turns what at first seemingly appears as Kodak moments into a study of a soul in transition. |
| RogerEbert.comMichał OleszczykIt is an unmistakably “small” film, but as the story builds up and the characters come into focus, you know you are witnessing something rare and precious: an American independent film that’s understated and intelligent, as well as utterly free of showiness and calculation. |
| Village VoiceZachary WigonThis is a sure-handed, complex portrait of one woman's attempts to feel alive. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisExamining a more generalized discontent through the lens of one woman’s pain, the writer and director, Paul Harrill, concentrates instead on the ordinary details that constitute a life and the way small choices nudge us toward larger ones. |
| The SkinnyJosh Slater-WilliamsA concise, fascinating exploration of American life, making pointed use of Southern cultural values for a more universal story of malaise and vulnerability. |
| Looking CloserJeffrey OverstreetHarrill has made something quiet, observant, and quite contrary to the popular narrative of American love stories. ... It's poetic, profound, and often very beautiful. |
| The DissolveMatthew DessemSomething, Anything is the rare film that gently asks the big questions, then gives us space, and room. |
| VarietyJustin ChangMarked by an affecting and understated performance from newcomer Ashley Shelton, this lovely drama tends toward the over-emphatic at times, but overall demonstrates a warm, subtle intelligence in the way it captures a person’s growing sense of dislocation from the traditional pressures of marriage, family and career. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe plot reversals of the third act happen rather abruptly, perhaps unbelievably, in comparison to what precedes them. But those who've been in Margaret's shoes may find this appropriate — an honest acknowledgement of the false starts that can result when a newly hatched idealist tries to apply abstract principles to messy human emotions. |
