Reception
[

Richard Brody
of
The New Yorker
called the film the "kind of observational comedy that most observational comedies aren't ? because this one is based in actual observation, in an unsparing intimacy regarding the characters, a pitch-perfect ear for the lifetime of emotion packed in an offhanded remark, and a patiently avid camera-eye that follows the characters insistently and pounces on quiet moments of revelation."
[2]
Neil Genzlinger
of
The New York Times
wrote that while the characters have a few "nice, even revelatory scenes that combine humor and pain", their "dominant mode of interaction by the movie’s end seems to be silence, just as it was at the beginning, and we never do get to know Marvin or Stanley very well."
[1]
Inkoo Kang of
The Village Voice
wrote that the film's third act "has all the power of a wave, dissolving as quickly as it appears", and that the cinematography "only invites unfavorable comparisons to the more ambitious, psychologically searching interpersonal dramas of that era."
