    Chicago Sun-Times | Roger Ebert

    We increasingly admire the quality of the acting: Both actors take their characters through a difficult series of changes, without ever seeming to try, or be aware of it. Read full review

    San Francisco Chronicle | Walter Addiego

    It's a handsome and entertaining small-scale picture with nice acting, some crisp (and some crude) dialogue and effective direction. Read full review

    Boston Globe | Wesley Morris

    A romantic comedy with film noir shadows. Read full review

    Philadelphia Inquirer | Steven Rea

    With a moody overlay of songs supplied by Okkervil River and Shearwater, In Search of a Midnight Kiss also serves as a millennial's answer to Woody Allen's "Manhattan." Read full review

    Washington Post |

    Despite some scenes that have the feel of an acting or writing workshop, these are believable, complex characters. Their story has a full measure of Judd Apatow raunch, with a dash of "Swingers" emotional sweetness. Read full review

    The Hollywood Reporter |

    An amusing ensemble piece about the troubles of dislocated twentysomethings attempting to find their way through life and love. Read full review

    Variety | Dennis Harvey

    Performances are aptly quirky and ingratiating, Holdridge's seriocomic balance nicely judged. But the most outstanding element in an accomplished low-budget package is Robert Murphy's lensing, which recalls "Manhattan" in its B&W celebration of a cityscape. Read full review

    The New York Times | Manohla Dargis

    In Search of a Midnight Kiss has its derivative moments along with awkward patches -- the inelegantly shaped climax tries to force uninteresting parallels between the two central couples -- it manages the difficult task of creating a sustained, plausible and inviting world. Read full review

    New York Daily News | Elizabeth Weitzman

    By the end, Holdridge has captured the bittersweet complexities of romance with a wisdom that proves surprisingly seductive. Read full review

    Los Angeles Times |

    If it were a parody of relationship-youth pictures, In Search of a Midnight Kiss would maybe be tolerable, but writer-director Alex Holdridge seems to be playing it with a straight face. Read full review
