Variety
Boundaries, to be sure, delivers you to a place you know you’re going, but there should always be room for a movie that does that this well. - 75
IndieWire
Boundaries breaks no fresh ground and sags into conventional story beats on autopilot, but it’s rewarding enough to hang with these characters and roll with their mudslinging. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
It all bumps along, as road trips do, through silliness and boredom and occasional, unexpected charm. But Feste’s story never really gets the rhythms right, and Boundaries finally reaches the end of the road, feeling like nothing so much as a missed opportunity. - 63
Movie Nation
The dialogue and performances are far more interesting than the lazy, cliche-ridden story Feste cooked up. - 50
Los Angeles Times
Feste...has been known to elicit strong performances even from thuddingly obvious, maudlin material. But her attempts to establish an atmosphere of drab, low-key realism — evident in the dim lighting, wobbly framing and Laura’s penchant for rumpled plaid shirts — can scarcely conceal the essential phoniness of the material. - 43
TheWrap
So much of Boundaries coasts on hackneyed complications and characters’ self-defeating actions that one wonders why we should believe anything anybody says. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
A fantastic cast doing fine work can't make this feel-good hokum believable. - 40
The New York Times
Self-satisfied and too slick by half, Boundaries projects a sheen of artifice that deflects any genuine engagement with the story.
