Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle 08/20/2015
2.5/5
Next time out, Fidell needs to find some kind of midrange between A Teacher's outré leanings and 6 Years' conventionality. Go to Full Review Justin Chang Variety 08/18/2015
[6 Years] too often veers toward melodramatic overstatement, inspiring little empathy or understanding despite the committed performances of promising young leads Taissa Farmiga and Ben Rosenfield. Go to Full Review John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter 08/18/2015
A melodrama benefitting from excellent performances but suffering from a too-obvious script. Go to Full Review Mae Abdulbaki Movies with Mae 05/02/2019
3/5
Fidell's tone and direction keep the film steady and the characters relatable. Go to Full Review James Clay Fresh Fiction 03/01/2019

5/5
Hannah Fidell has quickly become one of the faces to watch in independent film, her naturalistic style of filmmaking and ability to get the best of our her actors and shepherd improvised scenes creates characters and movies you want to root for. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

James B @RT54975811 Sep 7 I'm probably the wrong demographic for this movie, but I honestly didn't think this was very good. It felt like the movie dragged and it really didn't keep me interested. See more Andrew M @RT34980418 03/05/2025 Interesting movie. I was uncomfortable the whole time. See more Michael C @Coxmjc23 08/27/2023 Great Movie!!! Great Acting!!!! See more John R @RT65756385 01/09/2023 Sadly, this is probably a fairly accurate picture of modern relationships. A lot of time and emotional investiture, coupled with a failure to truly commit or know what exactly it is the relationship is for. Nothing to write home about. See more 03/10/2022 A romantic film in which you hope the leads break up because Farmiga plays a toxic character, but plays it well. You root for Ben Rosenfield throughout. There is one scene in which she has a psychotic break that leads to his arrest in which I was tempted to throw in the towel. But I kept watching because I wanted it to end well for him...Rosenfield is just that good. See more 11/23/2021 A pretty realistic portrayal of a toxic relationship but these two characters are too irritating for me to have really liked this film. See more Read all reviews
