The Freebie Ratings & Reviews
Newsweek
Jennie Yabroff
Low concept, maybe, but still something to talk about at your next dinner party.
BrianOrndorf.com
Brian Orndorf
Aselton proves herself to be a formidable filmmaker with a keen eye for shame, making the picture something of a surprise, especially with its sense of marital realism.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
A sly examination of the fragility of love.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
Annie and Darren grow on us organically. The more they squirm, the more entertaining they are.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
A not too funny, not too sad, largely improvised dramedy about two nice people who both succumb to the seven-year-itch and live to regret it.
Metromix.com
Matt Pais
Love's fragile intangibles rarely feel so visible. Viewers with a wandering eye may feel like they've gotten something out of their system.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Aselton gets a lot said in 78 minutes. I think the main thing she says is something never overtly spoken, that life is essentially a lonely experience - even when we're surrounded by activity, and even if we never shut up.
Shared Darkness
Brent Simon
Something of an emotional-psychological cheat. The big emotional argument to which the film builds is inherently less interesting than what causes that action -- all of which remains unaddressed.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Though the dialogue explores some interesting territory, the couple remain elusive and a little dull; we never learn anything about them beyond the subject at hand, so they seem to exist in an odd, screenwriting-exercise vacuum.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Though its premise seems ripe for a high-concept studio yukfest, The Freebie is all the better for its low-budget, human-scale approach.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Katie Aselton has achieved the seemingly impossible. She's turned a movie about sex into a boring, talky snooze.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
A smart seriocomic playlet with some emotionally harsh moments, although it refrains from plumbing its subject in agonizing depth.
HitFix
Daniel Fienberg
The chemistry between the stars makes them an easy couple to root for.
CinemaBlend
Katey Rich
With a sure hand both behind and in front of the camera, Aselton exposes a raw nerve within all of us, and even entertains in the process.
New York Press
Eric Kohn
The result is less of a movie than a sketch -- but a perceptive one
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
If the only alternative to swinging is this yuppie living death, maybe the next consideration should be a suicide pact.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
The director calls on the whole range of documentary techniques to signify the sort of laying bare of the truth that her intimately detailed screenplay can't quite manage.
