| Battle Royale With CheeseRosalynn Try-Hane... breathtakingly simple but yet so powerful in conveying grief and what it's like for the person left behind. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsBetty Jo TuckerThanks to director Arie Posin and cinematographer Antonio Riestra, the camera lingers on Annette Bening's expressive face, which draws viewers into her character's emotional journey. |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Corey HallFor all the hard-fought realism, brilliant performances, and the feelings stirred up by the themes of mortality and late-life romance, there is the inescapable silliness of the central conceit. |
| The ListMatthew TurnerAssumes the guise of a compelling psychological drama, taking in grief and obsession and overcoming its cheesier moments to deliver something unexpectedly powerful. |
| Cinema ScopeJosé Teodoro... the material repeatedly shies away from the eeriness and unease the intriguing premise deserves-this could have been melodrama of a higher order. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeAnnette Bening captivates as the self-delusionist, with Ed Harris ruggedly irresistible as the object of her fantasy. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedMs. Bening does a touching, masterful job of conveying real emotional pain. |

| New York TimesManohla DargisThat Mr. Posin and Mr. McDuffie have stacked the deck against Nikki would be more irritating if Ms. Bening didn’t immediately make this woman come so satisfyingly alive, breathing believable vitality and at times contradictory emotions into what might have otherwise registered as a blur or cliché. |
