'BREAKING UPWARDS' REVIEWS

Click on the links below to check out some great reviews on 'Breaking Upwards':

New York Times
"Like many relationships, “Breaking Upwards” starts in bed and ends on the street. The journey in between, however, feels as new as anything a tiny budget and a boatload of talent could produce."

indieWire
"For his first narrative directorial effort “Breaking Upwards,” being released at the IFC Film Center and on VOD this week, twenty-six year old Wein reached back to his first passion to serve as the lead actor (while also performing the duties of co-writer, editor and producer) - a decision that was not originally in the cards."

Cinematical
"Somehow, the writers have managed a delicate balancing act of making their characters likeable but flawed, sarcastic without being cruel, earnest without being twee; even when they do bad things to each other, we are not being dared to empathize with them as we are in Greenberg."

WBRU (90.9 fm)
"It could be an insufferably precious scenario: two actual paramours playing two fictional paramours who negotiate a possible breakup. Well, the semi-autobiographical, microbudgeted Breaking Upwards is indeed precious. But it's also smart, witty and less self-absorbed than you might reasonably expect."

DVD Talk
"Most importantly, Breaking Upwards is appealing and sympathetic. You like these people. You want them to be happy. You want them to succeed. But somehow, trickily (and without any easy villains or obvious infractions), you want them to succeed apart. To pull that off, and to do it with this much warmth and humor, is a real accomplishment."

The Hollywood Reporter
"Shot on a reported shoestring budget of $15,000, the film nonetheless has a polished, professional look and benefits immeasurably from the entertaining contributions from such theater pros as White, Friedman, Schreiber and Martin. "
