Mostly thanks to Barnz's direction and Aniston's performance it all starts to gel. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
Aniston submits an honest, sturdy performance. However, the film, directed by Daniel Barnz (Phoebe in Wonderland, Beastly) and written by Patrick Tobin, is less emotionally potent than it wants to be. - 50
Variety
To be sure, Aniston leads with her scowl here, in the sort of performance that often gets called “brave” but is, in fact, more accurately described as a well-executed change of pace. - 50
Los Angeles Times
It's a letdown that the film itself, written by Patrick Tobin and directed by Daniel Barnz, doesn't take half the chances its leading lady does and is content to paddle around the shallows rather than plunge into the deep end. - 50
USA Today
Aniston's portrayal feels honest, but the film doesn't rise to the level of her performance. - 50
Slant Magazine
The film is a study of grief that drowns in a cold bath of grim self-pity. - 50
Village Voice
Aniston gives the character personality and heft, but the script gives the character nothing to do. - 42
