The New York Times
Len and Company...never strains for profundity. Instead, it savors observational subtleties, especially in Mr. Ifans’s assured performance. For a baby-boomer-meets-millennial family drama, that’s plenty. - 70
Village Voice
You think you can guess what happens next, but the beauty of Tim Godsall's film, adapted from a play by Carly Mensch, is that it eschews the obvious arcs and come-to-Jesus moments of your typical Bad Dad pics. - 67
The Film Stage
The film proves more than its conventional story presumes. We’ve seen its depiction of mid-life and quarter-life crises—many times with the music industry at its back—but this newest iteration possesses an authenticity rendering it worthwhile nonetheless. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
Most effective in its quiet dialogue-heavy scenes, the picture stumbles when anything more dramatic is required. - 60
Variety
Amid the film’s narrative lulls and lapses, it’s the actors who hold our attention. - 60
Los Angeles Times
Thanks to Ifans, though, this remains a watchable film, one that, perhaps like Len himself, falls short of its potential. - 42
The Playlist
According to Len, rock ‘n roll is "blood, bourbon, and napalm," and it’s exactly those elements that the film needs, but doesn’t provide.
