The Land of Steady Habits Ratings & Reviews
indieWire
David Ehrlich
The decision to spend a little time on a lot of different characters results in a splintered story that muddles - rather then clarifies - its protagonist's roundabout journey back to himself.
San Francisco Chronicle
Michael Ordoña
Really bad decisions are made, people lie, no one convincingly grows. Lest this be taken as biting commentary, the music, stilted dialogue and epilogue assure us it's in earnest.
AV Club
Caroline Siede
In the well-trod territory of fiction about rich men in self-induced emotional crises, the film stands as a worthy, if not exactly groundbreaking, addition.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
An insightful portrait of middle-age in the '10s.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
As the tone wobbles between absurdity and tragedy, it also starts to shift toward something deeper and more bittersweet than mere midlife ennui.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Nicole Holofcener's The Land of Steady Habits often suggests the film that American Beauty might have been if the latter had been pruned of its smug hysteria.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
A great actor when his motor is running fast, Mendelsohn is surprisingly attractive at slower speeds and better when Holofcener makes him twist.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Laying it all out with a piercing authenticity, Holofcener makes us hope that the wait till her next feature is not quite so long.
TheWrap
Elizabeth Weitzman
No detail ever seems to go unnoticed in Holofcener's world, and viewers could spend the entire running time simply admiring her powers of surveillance.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The performances have sufficient grit - and the writing has just enough polish - to make "The Land of Steady Habits" feel unpredictable and fresh.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
No matter how much you want to like the film, something is missing: a spark, a shimmer, a thrust of discovery.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
If the center holds, it's thanks to the enthralling performance by Mendelsohn, one of the most compelling character actors of any era.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Holofcener reassures us that it's O.K. to laugh at human foibles-we have to, since so much of life is ridiculous and awful-but we'd better not consider ourselves exempt from them.
Next Best Picture
Daniel Howat
This makes for a sad but effective film, with unfortunate characters who want to be whole again but have no clue how to get there.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
...The Land of Steady Habitsis more comedy than drama...
The Daily Dot
Tess Cagle
The film... combines tragedy and quippy one-liners to convey a compelling story about a man's mid-life crisis and the consequences of his selfish actions.
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
Finds Holofcener and company doing superb work capturing the cadences of a particular stratum of American life.
Newcity
Ray Pride
Nicole Holofcener's moodstruck, slow-burn, Chekhov-to-Cheever sixth feature... is a quiet marvel.
The Playlist
Rodrigo Perez
Holofcener understands human behavior and her sharp, well-observed Land Of Steady Habits is as lovely and near amazing as anything she's made thus far.
Cinema Sentries
Matthew St. Clair
Thanks to its humanistic acting and carefully constructed writing, The Land Of Steady Habits is a poignant depiction of a man trying to find a new lease.
