IndieWire - Sterlin Johnson

Feb 1, 2015

Despite the formulaic setup, People, Places and Things benefits from first-rate writing and stellar performances. Read full review

The Playlist - Katie Walsh

Feb 1, 2015

With a dry and witty tone, it’s an amicable and appealing piece on love, both the romantic and family kind, and the ways in which it can change, evolve, and grow. Read full review

Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan

Aug 13, 2015

Small, smart and inescapably independent, People Places Things has its own offbeat and charmingly low-key way of seeing the world. Read full review

San Francisco Chronicle - David Lewis

Aug 13, 2015

Strouse’s film is about the changes that occur in all relationships and about letting go when it’s time. It will probably not change your worldview about any people, places or things, but it’s a pleasant way to spend a couple hours. Read full review

Austin Chronicle - Kimberley Jones

Aug 19, 2015

Gently funny and admirably, even unfashionably humane, People Places Things is at its best beat-to-beat. Read full review

The Guardian - Brian Moylan

Feb 1, 2015

Clement’s unique comic timing and his character’s wonderful artwork add to this film, whose aim is to communicate how relationships work, rather than to create fake movie magic. Read full review

Slant Magazine - Chuck Bowen

Aug 8, 2015

The film introduces a promising romantic pentagon, only to let it float away unfulfilled into studiously benign coming-of-age clouds. Read full review
