Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlMay 26, 2015
The film is brisk, brief, well acted, smartly crafted, and shrewdly judged. Read full review

The New YorkerRichard BrodyMay 21, 2015
Silver’s incisive direction blends patient discernment and expressive angularity; he develops his characters in deft and rapid strokes and builds tension with an almost imperceptible heightening of tone and darkening of mood. Read full review

Slant MagazineChuck BowenMay 31, 2015
Appropriately, the images in the film, the most fluidly beautiful and resonant of Nathan Silver's career thus far, suggest flashes of memory relived from the vantage point of the future. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweMay 21, 2015
Such a deliberate setup is by design intended to create emotional conflict, so it’s perhaps fortuitous that the plot doesn't become even more contrived than it starts off. Read full review

The DissolveCharles BramescoMay 21, 2015
Silver threatens to tease out some compelling emotional dimensions from Robbie and Nina, but stops just short of profundity. Uncertain Terms has no problem amounting to the sum total of its markedly basic component parts. Read full review
