Best two reviews:
1) Village Voice - The more microscopic and incidental the movie gets — as in this candlelit conversation — the grander its cumulative force becomes. (Rating: 100) Read Full Review >
2) Slant Magazine - Alex Ross Perry's characters are shrewd enough to recognize the irrational contours of their lives, which they diagnose and chew over in some of the most inventive, twisty, and richly ironic dialogue in modern American cinema. (Rating: 100) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:
13) Paste Magazine - Coming from a first-timer, Golden Exits might suggest promise. Coming from Perry, it nearly reads as self-satire, the epitome of overly dry and thoroughly hubristic indie filmmaking. Don’t let the indulgent chatter fool you. Here, Perry has nothing to say that’s worth listening to. (Rating: 40) Read Full Review >
14) Wall Street Journal - I tried to buy into the characters, to enjoy the performances on their own terms, but no dice. I saw only performers who, with one conspicuous exception, were working hard to ignite a glum drama that declined to combust. (Rating: 30) Read Full Review >
