Person to Person Reviews
It’s hilarious, self-assured and tender-hearted.

Part coming of age story, and part murder mystery, this delightful light comedy brims with thoughtful dialogue and memorable performances. Settle in for a great date night movie. You won't be disappointed.

Dustin Guy Defa’s Person to Person is an all-star remake/expansion of his short of the same name, with delirious cast juxtapositions...

The old pan that something is "less than the sum of its parts" does not quite apply here.

The people didn't feel real enough and so it felt like following around a bunch of New York caricatures instead of people.
| Original Score: 2/10 | Mar 7, 2019
Person to Person is gentle, occasionally sweet, sometimes charming, but wholly unoriginal and undistinguished.
| Original Score: C | Dec 27, 2018
It has the warm, familiar feeling of regional cinema sharing its insatiable curiosity in observing the cultural attitude of a community.

The film has a huge heart and a sneaky sense of humor, and there is a propulsive musical energy that reminds you of vintage Alan Rudolph or Paul Mazursky.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 29, 2018
It makes me want to fly out to the Big Apple right now and stroll the avenues, imbibing its unique offerings and seeing what hidden stories are being told in its nooks and crannies.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 5, 2018
Person to Person is a wonderfully compartmentalized comedy, whose story about the minutiae of everyday life will take a restrained yet worth it view to appreciate.

Though at first the emotional stakes may seem low, the more one thinks about the movie the more its profound truths resonate beyond its narrative limits.

For a film so set on understatement, both comedic and dramatic, Person to Person is surprisingly affecting.

There was just way too much going on...

Defa, who writes as well directs, delivers a respectable ensemble cast movie with intricate story-lines and likeable characters; however it would have been more beneficial for the narrative had the stories been more neatly tied together.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 3, 2017
Person to Person plays out like any of the great Woody Allen New York comedies of the 1970s and 1980s.
| Aug 31, 2017
The movie looks like a vintage '70s NYC film, but the characters all feel like over-written, fabricated creatures likely more at home in a Woody Allen flick than the real world.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Aug 25, 2017
Defa's large cast and multiple storylines succeed in watering down its few insightful moments about personal relationships.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 11, 2017
I watched it in the morning and liked it just fine. By dinner time I had forgotten I'd seen a movie that day.

An organic narrative that might feature improvised dialogue but never seems false, "Person to Person" carves out an easily listening vibe as the various stories unfold.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 4, 2017
Person to Person's performances are engaging throughout. It even earns its end-titles dance party, which is something else you don't see every day.
