SalonAndrew O'HehirMay 27, 2011
More broadly this is a resonant, vivid and finally heartbreaking tale about the universal difficulty of marriage and the endless self-delusion of the human condition, driven by a trio of amazing dramatic performances. Read full review

The strength of Tuesday, After Christmas, Mr. Muntean's fourth feature, lies in its rigorous, artful and humane fidelity to quotidian circumstance. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterNatasha SenjanovicMay 23, 2011
The dissected minutiae of this adultery drama unfortunately doesn't add up to a very original or moving whole. Read full review

Village VoiceNick PinkertonMay 24, 2011
Unrelentingly mundane, as if made with the sole purpose of draining the topic of adultery of any prurient interest. Read full review

Boxoffice MagazineRichard MoweMay 23, 2011
Rather than take a broad-brush approach director Muntean boggs us down in the detail of an adulterous affair. There are some similarities with his previous outing "Boogie" in that the main character is a man having a premature mid-life crisis. Read full review
