More naturalistic -- and as a result, more believable.
By Lisa Schwarzbaum FULL REVIEW
70
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.

You know a low-budget indie has problems when it's less emotionally honest than a studio-backed project like "(500) Days."
By Lou Lumenick FULL REVIEW

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.
By Jeannette Catsoulis FULL REVIEW

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.

An aggravating romance that runs only 78 minutes but ends not a moment too soon.
By Todd McCarthy FULL REVIEW
20
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.
