Critical reception
On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 35% based on 31 reviews, with an average rating of 5.3/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "This low-key comedy about memory loss offers mild pleasures but is too bland to fully resonate."[4] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 54 out of 100, based on 13 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[5] USA Today said that it "has moments of sweetness, but not enough poignancy or wit to turn it into the endearing art-house comedy that it aspires to be." Time Out New York said, "Great, just what we needed: another rote exercise in indie-feely humanism."[6]
