Los Angeles Times
The film is a true dramedy that wrestles with the darker, sadder elements of life in a frank, funny and deeply relatable way. - 75
The Playlist
Considering how much screen time they share together, Lister-Jones and Pally need to have fantastic chemistry to keep the audience rooting for Anna and Ben and, luckily, they have more than enough. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
Where Band Aid excels is in its mix of blisteringly understated comedy with a compassionate view of the ways we can let our lives drift away from us. There’s something bracingly fresh in the way Lister-Jones and Pally combine blind spots and vulnerabilities with a particularly secular-Jewish self-consciousness. - 70
Variety
Band Aid has wit and nasty charm to burn in the earlygoing, generating enough goodwill to power it through an uneven final act. - 70
Village Voice
I like this couple. And their songs aren’t bad! Not so the gender-binary Mars-Venus mumbo jumbo that dominates the resolution. Still, these are quibbles with an otherwise charming and honest marriage story. - 67
The Film Stage
It helps that the chemistry between Lister-Jones and Pally works, but one does wonder if another pass at the script would have elevated the film for one to care more about what’s at stake. - 67
IndieWire
Band Aid is a thin but knowing portrait of how marriages stretch, sag, and pull back together. - 67
The A.V. Club
You’ll believe you’re watching two people who love each other but no longer know how to live with each other. You may still wish Band Aid better distinguished their relationship.
