San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisNov 30, 2012
In the end, there is something to be said for letting actors loose on a roller-coaster ride, but from time to time, someone needs to be operating the brakes. Read full review

The New York TimesDavid DeWittOct 16, 2012
Partly reverent, mostly sendup, Just 45 Minutes From Broadway depicts theater folk as those lovably quirky people who can't stop performing in life, for better or worse. This film might be perfect for a preteen acting camp, or anyone whose eyes have that glowing, cultlike spark of the stage-obsessed. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckOct 16, 2012

New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanOct 18, 2012
Though Jaglom intends for us to be charmed by show folk, the amateurish performances and perennially misjudged direction wind up portraying them instead as boundlessly needy narcissists. Read full review

Slant MagazineCalum MarshOct 17, 2012
Henry Jaglom applies what must by now qualify as a tradition of pointless agitation to the disruption of theater. Unsurprisingly, the results are disastrous. Read full review
