“..an unusual film, resistant to the usual end-of-mankind cliches. The script is full of surprises..”
by Rex Reed [New York Observer]
“..after 100 minutes of gallows humor and surprise left turns, Seeking a Friend leaves us with a disappointingly banal observation..”
by Stephen Dalton [Hollywood Reporter]
“..achieves the colorless tedium of a safe, dozy dream of catastrophe instead of anything like the real deal..”
by Mark Holcomb [Village Voice]
