Duck Butter Ratings & Reviews
Autostraddle
Heather Hogan
The sex was good but the delirious lesbian mumblecore didn't leave a lasting impression.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
There's a heartfelt authenticity that overcomes structural familiarity in this tender lesbian romance.
Decider
Jade Budowski
It is not a light movie (as the trailers might suggest), but it's a unique, refreshing one, driven by remarkable performances from Shawkat and Costa.
Jezebel
Rich Juzwiak
This movie boldly sticks its nose where others don't.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The director, Miguel Arteta (who co-wrote the script with Shawkat), finds no symbolic dimension or wider resonance in the schematic proceedings.
Pajiba
Roxana Hadadi
What a feat for Shawkat in particular -- her myriad creative strengths are exemplified here, and I'm so excited for whatever she does next.
The Playlist
Kimber Myers
Like its characters, Duck Butter is imperfect, but unlike human objects of our affection, it's attractive despite its flaws rather than because of them.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
It feels like we're seeing the director's cut of an IKEA commercial.
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
An instant classic... a truly fresh and modern relationship movie, a portrait of two women who collide, spectacularly, for a moment in time.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
Just like what Naima and Sergio are doing, the movie is itself an impulsive, fleeting relationship experiment with mixed results.
Slate
Lena Wilson
If you can step outside of your comfort zone, like Shawkat and Costa demonstrate with their brazen performances, this is worth a watch.
NPR
Scott Tobias
Duck Butter is a chance to witness the entire arc of a troubled relationship play out in 24 hours, but much like the endeavor itself, it sounds more appealing than it turns out to be.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Emily Yoshida
The holistic, engrossing, often icky sense of intimacy that the name suggests is very appropriate for this head-spinning film, a romantic endurance test that's rewarding and suffocating in equal measure.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
A movie that reminds you that sometimes all you need in realist fiction is a glimpse into another person's being - but with heart and intelligence, good craft and technique.
Village Voice
Kristen Yoonsoo Kim
The frustrations of the characters sadly don't amount to much of a movie.
Observer
Brandon Katz
What starts out as a funny, witty and wry examination of being your own worst enemy soon delves too deeply into a repetitive and trying cycle of broken connections that prevents us from caring that much about our two main characters.
AV Club
Katie Rife
Duck Butter is clever without being all that hilarious, and personal without being all that revealing.
Slant Magazine
Greg Cwik
The setup of a 24-hour relationship that bypasses the getting-to-know-you phase speaks to the nature of expedited modern dating culture, but despite its attempts at intimacy, Duck Butter is difficult to fall in love with.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jon Frosch
Frequently silly, only fitfully involving and often surprisingly banal despite its outr premise...
Village Voice
Jason Bailey
In scope, it's a modest movie (and purposefully so), but the relationships and impulses it portrays are anything but minor.
