Entertainment WeeklyMaureen Lee LenkerJan 10, 2018
Clement channels his wry hangdog humor into a slightly more grounded performance than he often gives. His charm and absurdist tendencies help elevate Nate from a potentially self-centered man-child to a lost soul who is genuinely compelling. Read full review
