New York Times

Moonlight Mile has an understated, lived-in quality and a wry, unforced sense of the absurd. A.O. Scott

Chicago Sun-Times

Moonlight Mile gives itself the freedom to feel contradictory things. It is sentimental but feels free to offend, is analytical and then surrenders to the illogic of its characters, is about grief and yet permits laughter. Roger Ebert

Hollywood Reporter

Tackles the difficult subject of grief and loss with such life-embracing spirit that the theme doesn't drag an audience down. Kirk Honeycutt
