MovielineAlison WillmoreMay 31, 2012
It's a slender story of mourning that manages some lovely bits of mood while also being dreary and a little preposterous in its spareness. Read full review

Village VoiceEric HynesMay 30, 2012
The film stays afloat, if barely, thanks to Elliot Davis's uncluttered camerawork, a surprisingly unsentimental denouement, and performers who deftly undersell the script's corniest pretensions. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenMay 31, 2012
This quiet, atmospheric drama (originally titled "A Year in Mooring") feels padded even in its brief running time; it's a slight mood piece posing as a character study. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierMay 31, 2012
The film doesn't play games; it's basically just Lucas going through a short story-like period of reflection and redemption almost entirely without dialogue. It's not enough, but it is what this underappreciated actor does best. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen HoldenMay 31, 2012
Much of the skimpy, waterlogged dialogue in Peter Vanderwall's screenplay is heavy with portent. Excerpts from Homer's "Odyssey" and Longfellow's "Children's Hour" add to the tonnage. Read full review

Time OutKeith UhlichMay 30, 2012
This is a man-versus-nature parable heavy on the sappy existentialism that's very much of our time. Call it Nicholas Sparks's The Grey. Read full review

Slant MagazineBill WeberMay 30, 2012
A banal "poetic" drama of a grieving stranger licking his wounds in a bayside Michigan town. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBarbara VanDenburghMay 30, 2012
The movie is plagued with long stretches of dialogue-free contemplation and static shots of nature happening. At only 83 minutes, the film is too slight to feel so padded. Read full review

New York PostKyle SmithJun 1, 2012
The movie seems to think it's building up massive suspense by not telling us our hero's back story, but given that the wife and kid aren't around and he keeps telling people who ask that he's not divorced, it's obvious they're dead. The only mystery, then, is what exactly happened to them. The answer is: nothing interesting. Read full review
