The New York Times

Oct 9, 2014

Despite holes in the storytelling, Ms. Swank and Ms. Rossum keep it real.

By Stephen Holden FULL REVIEW

Chicago Sun-Times

Oct 9, 2014

A movie about this subject matter is a tough sell, but Swank and Rossum are brilliant, and in its own unique way, You’re Not You is one of the best buddy movies of the year.

The Hollywood Reporter

Oct 9, 2014

You're Not You isn't entirely successful in avoiding a television movie-style predictability in its depiction of its central character's incapacitating illness. But its superb performances and emotional complexity ultimately elevate its familiar themes.

Here’s the frustrating thing about You’re Not You: Wolfe clearly knows what he’s doing and has the actors to pull it off, but he’s tasteful to a fault. Great melodramas achieve the sublime by risking ridicule, something which You’re Not You does only once.

You’re Not You fails to bring us the fear or the tears that this story warrants. It sticks in the mind no longer than it takes you to change shirts after that ice bucket dunking.

By Roger Moore FULL REVIEW

New York Daily News

Oct 9, 2014

The sort of movie that’s not good enough to embrace, but not quite bad enough to dismiss.

By Elizabeth Weitzman FULL REVIEW

Village Voice

Oct 7, 2014

The most interesting aspects of the film — the real pressures felt by caregivers; popular perception of the severely disabled — are obliterated by the heavy-handed script and Swank’s inspirational bromides.
