Michał Oleszczyk of www.RogerEbert.com, in his 3.5/4 star review Something, Anything, called it “a work of…simple, unforgettable beauty.” It was a Critic’s Pick by The New York Times which wrote, “modestly presented but emotionally ambitious…this immersive first feature gently reveals the void of an adulthood on autopilot.” The film follows the gradual evolution of a Knoxville, Tennessee, real estate agent.
