- 70Film ThreatEric CamposFilm ThreatEric CamposVery unusual that a film focusing on characters this miserable can be so uplifting, but here it is, and it's damn fine.
- 63New York Daily NewsNew York Daily NewsIf ever a cast of characters needed a good dose of Prozac - or maybe just a hug - it's in this downbeat, low-budget indie.
- 60Village VoiceLaura SinagraVillage VoiceLaura SinagraIn the central romantic push-pull, Elster and Harold achieve a rare, edgily hopeful chemistry amid emotional ruins.
- 50The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayThe A.V. ClubNoel MurrayThough clumsy, Particles Of Truth isn't hopeless. Before turning to filmmaking, Elster made her living as a celebrity fashion stylist, so she has a good eye for color, motion, and the feel of New York in summer. And, because she worked primarily on music videos, she uses music well.
- 50Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittChristian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThis uneven drama might have been more effective if someone with more on-screen charisma than writer-director Elster had played the main character.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckIt ultimately lacks the singularity to make it stand out among the glut of similarly themed entries.
- Tense and tiresome.
- 38New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickOne of those painfully earnest -- and pretentious -- little indies in which a pair of emotional cripples neatly resolve all of their problems within 48 hours of meeting each other.
