ReelViewsJames BerardinelliFeb 9, 2018
This is as surprising a romantic comedy as I have seen in some time. Read full review

Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonFeb 8, 2018
The movie is often whimsical, a tone augmented by clever use of special effects and sudden flourishes of animation. Offbeat soundtrack selections and effective music by composer Andrew Harris help set the mood — ultimately genial and hopeful, and the movie is short and sweet. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinFeb 8, 2018
Director Jason James, working off a darkly amusing, often lovely script by Jason Filiatrault, effectively juggles the film's disparate, tone-shifting parts and bits of magic realism while coaxing memorable performances from Middleditch, Weixler and Bang. Read full review

The PlaylistWill AshtonFeb 9, 2018
It’s an unexpectedly winning film, and even when you’re ready to write it off, it offers surprises that keeps you engaged. “Quirky,” “cute,” and “weird” may be overused adjectives, but sometimes those words fit, and sometimes those tropes do work well. Read full review

Entanglement is gleefully weird at times, but it could’ve been a whole lot weirder. Read full review

The Seattle TimesMichael UpchurchFeb 8, 2018
The script isn’t great, but the plot turns and visuals can be striking, and Jess Weixler has fun as the bad-girl sister Ben finds. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Brad WheelerFeb 8, 2018
Entanglement suffers from an unsureness in tone, somewhere between quirky and sombre. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreJan 9, 2018
But the script has laugh-out-loud moments and zippy exchanges. Middleditch and Weixler give this smarts and just enough sexy sass to work. And Bang gives it heart. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisFeb 8, 2018
Impressively photographed and perkily paced, Jason Filiatrault’s story never droops quite as much as its lead character, injecting a welcome poignancy that tempers the cuteness. Read full review

The Film StageJared MobarakFeb 9, 2018
Much of the film is forgettable in the sense that you’ve seen it all before. But where the jokes at the beginning feel tired, the drama at the end lands. Read full review

Village VoiceSerena DonadoniFeb 8, 2018
Ben’s carefully plotted healing diminishes the complexity of mental illness, and gives James’s sweet vision a bitter aftertaste. Filiatrault uses too-neat bookending in the place of dramatic resolution, so that the story of a man hanging on by a thread is nicely tied up in a bow. Read full review

Slant MagazineDerek SmithFeb 6, 2018
Ben doesn't deserve our sympathy, in part for how noxiously the film has imagined the female characters who surround him. Read full review

VarietyNick SchagerFeb 8, 2018
Like James’ direction, full of off-center and oddly angled compositions that aren’t warranted by the action, Entanglement dresses up familiar romantic-comedy themes with affected gimmicks to jumbled ends. Read full review
