Although uneven it is an interesting look at the responsibilities that come with adult relationships.

Permission is a masterly portrayal of a reality affecting women in too many countries.

A must watch.

Charismatic characters, perfectly drawn, that are going to catch you. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 12, 2019

The film is daring enough to earn your goodwill early and as it unfolds, it's refreshing to see a film about relationships that aims for the head more than the heart.

It is a work that raises an interesting debate about the importance given to monogamy... and the consequences that could result from ceasing to practice it. [Full review in Spanish]

[Permission's] moral dilemma has the depth (and the same reactionary ideology) of 'Indecent Proposal'. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2018

Ultimately, under the guise of maturity, Permission turns a promising premise into a juvenile and destructive display of emotionally immature people.

| Jul 22, 2018

Credit this uneven relationship drama for at least following through on its outlandish premise.

| Mar 9, 2018

I want to like or, at least, be positive about every film I see. I cannot do that here.

| Original Score: D+ | Feb 15, 2018

An indie rom-com being released just in time for Valentine's Day, Permission is notable for what it does. And ultimately for what it doesn't.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 15, 2018

[Brian] Crano's screenplay navigates these tricky waters with insight and empathy for everybody on screen, while refusing to offer anyone an easy out.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 15, 2018

Permission creates a compelling case study of adult relationships. With the direction of Crano he gives us a romantic drama that provides us with a heavy dose of romance, but also focuses on its decline.

| Feb 15, 2018

The film delights in some aspects, disappoints in others, does a deft job of depicting the sloppy, senseless mess that adulthood and adult relationships inherently are.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 15, 2018

Nearly every minute the camera is focused on her, [Rebecca] Hall wears a vague, faraway look of uncertainty, as though she is contemplating the past, present, and future all at once.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 15, 2018

A small story made with big performances from leads Stevens and Hall, and while it hasn't gotten the promotional push for audiences to pay attention, people lucky enough to stumble across it will fall for everyone involved.

(Director Brian Crano) gives Permission a tremulous tone that's in turns sexy, tender, and heart-trembling.

| Feb 9, 2018

What is most unexpected about Permission is its sense of poignancy and tenderness. In its own way, it's quite heartbreaking.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 9, 2018
