There's more than a whiff of Festen and Altman in first-time director Christopher James's frantic, enjoyably overstuffed funeral drama. Full Review

Leigh Singer, Film4

Self-aware but self-regarding indie navel gazing; no cause for celebration. Full Review

If you're a fan of jaundiced views of Hollywood or unedifying portraits of dysfunctional families, look no further. Full Review

Owen Williams, Empire Magazine

Despite the dark tone, the likeably unlikeable ensemble cast is uniformly excellent, and there are some real laughs to be had. Full Review

Jaymes and his castmates nail the characters and the dialogue Full Review

Hand-held cameras and semi-improvised dialogue lend it realism, while the flurry of well-crafted comic situations it creates brings it to heights of hilarity. Full Review
