Reception

Sarah Marloff of The Austin Chronicle wrote that "What makes this movie utterly charming is its ability to re-create honest and relatable relationship struggles onscreen."[1]

David Lewis of SFGATE wrote that "The impressive ensemble cast makes this improvised affair come off quite naturally, a testament not only to their skills, but also to the direction of William Sullivan, who gives his actors a lot of rope but still keeps the modern story under control."[2]

Heather Dockray of Uproxx rated the film "B+" and wrote, " So kudos to That's Not Us for showing us love's ugly profile. It’s unattractive and gross but always worth fighting for."[3]

Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter called the film a "trying LGBT-meets-mumblecore indie".[4]
