The critical consensus

Much better than the am-dram washout it could so easily have been, there's nuggets of truth and wisdom in this lo-fi drama.

***(*)(*)Simon Crook, Empire Online, 10/03/2014

For the most part this is just terribly dull.

**(*)(*)(*)Hannah McGill, The List, 10/03/2014

Nothing remains but a vague sense of wasted time.

Adam Lee Davies, Little White Lies, 13/03/2014

The pace picks up towards the end, but whether you’ll still care by that point is another matter.

**(*)(*)(*)Josh Winning, Total Film, 10/03/2014

This is a minor-key film: delicate, sober and thoughtful.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 13/03/2014

The problem is that the protagonists are so unengaging. They're primarily elderly theatre folk who radiate complacency and smugness.

**(*)(*)(*)Geoffrey MacNab, 13/03/2014

Jon Sanders's improvised and occasionally annoying mood piece has something of the air of a Joanna Hogg.

***(*)(*)Mark Kermode, The Observer, 16/03/2014
