Village Voice
The group is frequently drunk, but writer-director Joseph Infantolino's handling is lucid, a necessity to keep up the sense of vague dread and walking-on-eggshell egos. - 70
Variety
Pacing is brisk, and performances and writing sharp enough to engage throughout. - 50
New York Post
None of its characters is especially interesting. - 50
The New York Times
Helena From the Wedding has a little more to offer than many films of its type. - 40
New York Daily News
Every generation gets a "Big Chill," and this tired but well-meaning indie contains many clichés of the "pals-pondering-life" movies that came before. - 40
