adult_beginnersReviews for this film from our members:

  • Jason Bailey @ Flavorwire
    • Excerpt: Adult Beginners’ isn’t terribly memorable, nor is it saying anything bracingly new. But it’s a very charming movie — and, for Kroll, a very smart play.
  • Nicholas Bell @ Ioncinema
  • Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
    • Excerpt: has the misfortune of being an awful lot like last year’s Sundance hit “The Skeleton Twins” without nearly as many laughs.
  • Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
    • Excerpt: Resolutely predictable and low-stakes but affable, “Adult Beginners” isn’t much. It’s more of a comfortable sit than a life-changing experience, but the actors makes it seem like a genuine effort.
  • Dan Lybarger @ ArkansasOnline.com
    • Excerpt: Adult Beginners plays like a quieter, less vulgar version of a Judd Apatow movie. Unfortunately, the noise and the filth are essential ingredients.
  • [New – 10/1/15] | Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
  • Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
    • Excerpt: Another sadly toothless American independent comedy [that] just floats along on a current of bland affability.
  • Betty Jo Tucker @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
    • Excerpt: Some movies deserve to be treasured — and “Adult Beginners” is high on my list.
