More naturalistic -- and as a result, more believable. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterStephen Farber
The greatest romantic movie to jumble its time structure, Stanley Donen's "Two for the Road," is a touchstone that DiPietro must have had in mind. While this low-budget indie doesn't have the gloss or the depth of that romantic classic, the highest compliment I can pay Peter and Vandy is that it belongs in the same company. Read full review

The A.V. ClubSam Adams
The movie’s saving grace is Weixler, who manages to seem effortlessly natural without resorting to whiny faux naturalism. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette Catsoulis
More a designer frame for actors than nourishing entertainment. Like the Chinese food the leads are always arguing over, the story leaves you hungry for more. Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick
You know a low-budget indie has problems when it's less emotionally honest than a studio-backed project like "(500) Days." Read full review

Los Angeles TimesGlenn Whipp
Peter and Vandy has the decided disadvantage of arriving a couple of months after the similarly structured "(500) Days of Summer," a movie sporting a sunnier sheen, more appealing cast and an actual reason to care about the outcome. Read full review

VarietyTodd McCarthy
An aggravating romance that runs only 78 minutes but ends not a moment too soon. Read full review

Village VoiceAaron Hillis
Ritter and Weixler do share an easy-at-being-uneasy chemistry, mostly because his performance is downright distinguished compared to her blandness, but DiPietro's screenplay is emotionally myopic. Read full review

Time OutKarina Longworth
Peter and Vandy is crippled by DiPietro’s interest in repetition. Activities that were cute and fun at the beginning, we see, ultimately become tedious. The novelty of the film’s gimmick follows suit. Read full review
