The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
It is at times extremely uncomfortable, but captivating and engaging all the same. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
This Canadian indie mostly avoids the sort of vulgarisms attendant to films of that ilk, displaying a slyly droll humor that proves consistently engaging. - 63
Movie Nation
It’s a smart, poignant skewering of lives of diminishing returns, two grown men flailing at life and failing at life at 33. - 60
The New York Times
Closure may be missing, but at least glimpses of promising Canadian performers are in abundant supply. - 30
Variety
Pleasant in the blandest sense of the term, writer-director Pavan Moondi’s film likely won’t entice anyone outside die-hard fans of cult-comic co-star Tim Heidecker. - 25

“A good movie is never too long, and a bad movie can never be too short.” That famous quote from Roger Ebert helps me explain why the Canadian indie comedy Sundowners, though it runs only 97 minutes, felt to me like it lasted 14 hours. Longer than “Lawrence of Arabia.” Longer than “Shoah.”
