Outside In Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
What elevates this lovely film above the run of the mill is Falco's heartbreaking, note-perfect performance.
RogerEbert.com
Allison Shoemaker
What makes Outside In compelling isn't the way these stories move toward their inevitable conclusions, but in how these characters experience their journeys.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
The power of these performances is that you leave thinking that Chris and Carol are out there, somewhere, and you wish them well.
IndieWire
Eric Kohn
Jay Duplass and Edie Falco anchor the movie with some of the very best performances in both of their careers.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
Shelton's forte remains live-wire, semi-improvised comedies involving competitive neurotics, at which she's better than just about anybody else currently working.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
What keeps Outside In interesting throughout is the nuanced work of its so very watchable leads - especially Duplass, who spent the first half of his career behind the camera writing, directing, and producing film and TV with his brother Mark.
Slant Magazine
Keith Watson
Lynn Shelton's film firmly resists supplying its main characters with easy, you-can-have-it-all answers.
AWFJ.org
Nell Minow
Edie Falco gives her most vulnerable and nuanced performance...
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Lynn Shelton wrote and directed two superior indie comedies, Humpday (2009) and Your Sister's Sister (2011)... Now she's back with an engrossing drama about love and circumstance, and there isn't a false note from start to finish.
Newsweek
Andrew Whalen
Director Lynn Shelton brings a high empathic bar to Outside In, then dares the audience to clear it.
NPR
Bob Mondello
[Lynn Shelton's] actors are always natural and unaffected, but in [Edie] Falco and [Jay] Duplass, she's found interpreters who seem to breathe her characters.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Emily Yoshida
This is an conversation- and character-driven film with an occasional eye for something more ineffable, but Falco and Duplass's complicated, nakedly searching performances are the main event.
The Atlantic
David Sims
Takes some time to develop that tension into something genuinely dramatic, but Falco's performance is strong enough to make the film compelling even in its softest moments.
TheWrap
Robert Abele
Another one of Shelton's delightfully untucked meanders into the crossroads of lives, Outside In may be her quietly affecting best yet.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
Shelton has a knack for three-way relationship studies; she knows exactly how to braid together two characters in a way that comments insightfully on a third.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Exploring big questions through small, intimate moments, "Outside In" is a love story that prioritizes patience and pragmatism over passion.
Village Voice
Abbey Bender
The quiet, dark tableaux fit the subject matter well, and Falco is reliably strong as a woman in the throes of a moral dilemma.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
Shelton's best-known films are comedy/dramas with an accent on the former; this one leans more towards drama, which is a bit of a disappointment, since she's honed such a specific and welcome comic voice. But it's full of little flashes of truth.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A love story whose resolution remains tough to predict, Outside In respects all its characters by not pretending their choices are easily made.
RogerEbert.com
Vikram Murthi
A breezy, earnest film about powerful connections and lost time, but it never quite gets off the ground like it should.
