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

The Playlist Katie Walsh

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

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

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

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

The Guardian Brian Moylan

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

this show portrays quite accurately how messy marriage can be. many couples just fall in and out of love different stages of life. it's just that most of us managed to just stay together despite the down.

Es una película con una trama muy simple y genérica; no es mala, pero es demasiado olvidable.
