- 75Slant MagazineJaime N. ChristleySlant MagazineJaime N. ChristleyGlides from a mildly off-putting opening across several scenes that waver between sitcom superficiality and sudden, unexpected gusts of feeling, ultimately ending on a note of perfectly judged emotional ambivalence.
- 70Village VoiceVillage VoiceFrequently funny, Schechter's movie is also shrewd in its handling of the tensions between longtime friends and co-workers as professional opportunities dwindle and off-the-job romantic drama trickles into the cutting room.
- 70The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenThis well-acted film captures a generational and occupational sliver of New York life that rings true.
- Supporting Characters tends to meander pleasantly from scene to scene, relying on the testy rapport between its two lead actors.
- 60Time OutNick SchagerTime OutNick SchagerThe fictional filmmaker's rejection of "quirkiness" ends up, ironically, being embraced by the movie itself, but even at its most sitcomish, Karpovsky and Lowe's banter has a contentious authenticity that recognizes these industry grunts as vital and three-dimensional-no matter their nominal supporting status.
- 50New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickDan Schechter's no-budget comedy about the romantic and professional travails of a pair of financially struggling film editors offers a few laughs, all served up on eyeball-gougingly ugly digital video.
