Hello I Must Be Going Ratings & Reviews
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
"Hello I Must Be Going" is at once an intriguing character study and a refreshingly offbeat romance.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The movie's sharp-tongued and softhearted, a Sundance kind of film that mostly sidesteps generic Sundanceyness.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The film is worth seeing for the performances, but the drama is a nonstarter.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Sarah Koskoff's screenplay is flagrantly duplicitous, introducing the heroine as a self-pitying sloth, then trying to pass her off as likable by making nearly all the other characters drips, snobs, or unfeeling scolds.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Succeeds almost entirely on the strength of Melanie Lynskey's heartfelt and humorous performance in the lead role.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
Sarah Koskoff's play-it-safe script and Louiso's heavy-handed direction combine to kill the potential of "Hello I Must Be Going."
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Lynskey lets us see, from deep within Amy's fog, an instinctual desire to please, and a sense of innocent wonderment at how she could possibly have gotten into such a mess.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Much credit goes here to Christopher Abbott, whose persuasive performance bridges the gap. He's like a living embodiment of the cliche, "I love you enough for the both of us."
USA Today
Claudia Puig
A funny, well-written, involving and emotionally honest tale.
Film.com
Amanda Mae Meyncke
While there are laughs and plenty of them sprinkled throughout, Hello I Must Be Going is predictably sweet and ends up exactly where you think it might, safe and sound.
Slate
Dana Stevens
I hope Hello, I Must Be Going will introduce many new viewers to Lynskey's charms, and that at least of a few of them will be casting directors.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Abbott has a compelling unpredictability, though, and in a couple of his scenes with Lynskey, you can spot the stirrings of a more complex film than the one we finally ended up with.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
Overall, the comedy is a lovely showcase for Lynskey and the rest of the cast.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
But while this is Lynskey's show, the real gut-punch comes from Danner as the uptight and dissatisfied Ruth, who loves her daughter but also wants her to get her life together (and, ideally, the hell out of the house).
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Lynskey inhabits the role so completely, brings such exquisite naturalness to her performance, that she becomes someone we root for unreservedly.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
[It's] better than the story it has to tell, and that is thanks to the bravery and sensitivity of Ms. Lynskey's performance and the sweet, intense love affair that is the film's main concern.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
Both funnier and deeper than you might expect at the outset.
MSN Movies
Glenn Kenny
... not just one of the finest indie releases of the year, but one of the sharpest and most moving and engaging movies of the year, period.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Every scene - including mopey family meals, secret assignations, and confessions under the stars - breathes with a freshness that carries this tiny romance safely beyond the realm of indie cuteness, into the world of a character worth caring about.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
Thanks to Melanie Lynskey's performance, the movie feels like a believably worked-out, sympathetically presented study in thirtysomething uncertainty.
