Critics’ Reviews (6)

A collection of our favorite reviews from professional news sources.
The New York Post

"“So beautifully written and acted that its characters get under your skin–you miss them as soon as the curtain goes down.”"

The New York Post

Frank Scheck

Time Out New York

""5 out of 5 stars!""

Time Out New York

David Cote

The New York Times

""The gentle, compassionate comic drama...has the sweet taste of redemption. Mr. Broderick delivers his finest, most affecting performance in years.""

The New York Times

Ben Brantley

Newsday

""A rich and engrossing new play...A sprawling, mature, leisurely profound serious comedy about everyday desperation and cosmic mysteries.""

Newsday

Linda Winer

Variety

""This melancholy, resolutely non-judgmental mid-life crisis drama creeps up on you.""

Variety

David Rooney

The Wall Street Journal

""An engrossing study of the toll that prolonged disappointment exacts on the human spirit, performed with consummate skill by an ensemble cast led by Matthew Broderick and staged with unassuming finesse by [playwright] Lonergan himself.""

The Wall Street Journal
