| Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyOne of the better movies to come along this year. |
| 2UE That Movie ShowBlake HowardThe Skeleton Twins is beautiful, infectious and painfully honest in a way that's normally reserved for someone that you shared a womb with. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldIf "sad comedy" is a genre, Craig Johnson's thoughtful, touching film fits right in. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrThe bitter, funny dialogue by director Craig Johnson and co-writer Mark Heyman gives the two stars room to work both comic and dramatic sides of their gifts. |
| Richard Roeper.comRichard RoeperThis is a smart movie about complicated people in search of something approaching inner peace. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversWhat raises the movie above the herd and rocks our settled ideas of pop entertainment is the way Hader and Wiig resist the script's pull to tidy things up. |
| RogerEbert.comChristy LemireAs we enter this season of big, important awards contenders that “matter,” The Skeleton Twins is a small, intimate gem that might truly matter. |

| Alternative LensJennifer HeatonSome of Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig's finest work, held together by good supporting work from Ty Burrell and Luke Wilson and a fantastically witty script. |
| The PlaylistCory EverettIt may not always work as a drama but The Skeleton Twins proves to be a fine showcase for Wiig and Hader, showing they are both capable of dramatic material. |
