“Sharply written and sensitively played…effortlessly balancing off-center charm, compassion and a comic edge” (Hollywood Reporter)

“Fuelled by a never-better Heather Graham…The film marks an impressive feature directorial debut by Aisling Chin-Yee and writer Alanna Francis who inject every scene with heartfelt honesty.” (That Shelf)

“The Rest of Us is across-the-board strong — a sharp and occasionally funny script, layered performances, astute subtext and clear, understated visual presentation. Each of the four primary characters enjoys a level of complexity fitting the larger narrative arc, and that the movie accomplishes so much in its brief 80 minutes speaks mountains of Chin-Yee’s economical filmmaking.” (Decider)
