Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyApr 2, 2015
The banter between Brian and Arielle is easy and often amusing. But despite all the tangled sheets and entwined bodies during assignations at the St. Regis hotel, the relationship never moves beyond the look of puppy love. Read full review

The DissolveScott TobiasMar 31, 2015
Accepted as fantasy, 5 To 7 has a bright, literate charm that’s hard to resist, thanks to the scattered witticisms in Levin’s script, a deftly managed tone, and fine performances across the cast. Read full review

The city doesn’t need to be real in a romantic movie, but the feelings must be.

Village VoiceAmy NicholsonMar 31, 2015
There's no credibility to Arielle and Brian's romance. We get why he likes her — who wouldn't? But what does she see in this nine-years-younger naif she treats like a slow child? Read full review

Time OutDavid EhrlichMar 31, 2015
At its best, 5 to 7 is refreshingly sentimental in an age ruled by caustic irony, and the obvious fact that its romance is doomed from the start doesn’t make the film any less fantastical. Read full review
