Summary
RATING: Not Rated
Starring Jason Ritter, Jess Weixler, Jesse L. Martin, Tracie Thoms, and Noah Bean
As anyone who’s ever been in love can tell you, it’s a slippery slope from “We’re head over heels in love!” to “We’re fine.” Peter and Vandy takes us through the relationship of a young New York couple – just not in chronological order. Most movie romances end when the relationship is beginning. Peter and Vandy’s love story goes much further than that. The story shifts back and forth in time, whipping between their romantic beginnings and the inevitable struggles that follow. Peter and Vandy is a unique take on the exhilaration and frustrations love can bring – a love story in disorder. (Strand Releasing)

Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
More naturalistic -- and as a result, more believable.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Stephen Farber
The greatest romantic movie to jumble its time structure, Stanley Donen's "Two for the Road," is a touchstone that DiPietro must have had in mind. While this low-budget indie doesn't have the gloss or the depth of that romantic classic, the highest compliment I can pay Peter and Vandy is that it belongs in the same company.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Sam Adams
The movie’s saving grace is Weixler, who manages to seem effortlessly natural without resorting to whiny faux naturalism.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis
More a designer frame for actors than nourishing entertainment. Like the Chinese food the leads are always arguing over, the story leaves you hungry for more.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
You know a low-budget indie has problems when it's less emotionally honest than a studio-backed project like "(500) Days."
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Glenn Whipp
Peter and Vandy has the decided disadvantage of arriving a couple of months after the similarly structured "(500) Days of Summer," a movie sporting a sunnier sheen, more appealing cast and an actual reason to care about the outcome.
Read Full Review >Variety Todd McCarthy
An aggravating romance that runs only 78 minutes but ends not a moment too soon.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Aaron Hillis
Ritter and Weixler do share an easy-at-being-uneasy chemistry, mostly because his performance is downright distinguished compared to her blandness, but DiPietro's screenplay is emotionally myopic.
Read Full Review >Time Out New York Karina Longworth
Peter and Vandy is crippled by DiPietro’s interest in repetition. Activities that were cute and fun at the beginning, we see, ultimately become tedious. The novelty of the film’s gimmick follows suit.
