Critical response
Some Internet critics described Here and There as one of the top 10 films to see at Tribeca.
Based on 11 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, Here and There was at 73% fresh.
Variety's Ronnie Schieb described the film as a "Slight, extremely likable pic... with an outside chance at arthouse play before cable beckons."
Los Angeles Times's Kevin Thomas opined that the film is "a wisp of a wry comedy but Lungulov's touch is delicate, even piercingly so, and his direction of actors, especially Thornton and Karanovic, is beautifully nuanced."
The Hollywood Reporter's Natasha Senjanovic felt that the film was "Elegantly minimalistic, superbly played and surprisingly feel-good, in the best sense of the word."
Time Out New York's David Fear only gave the film 2 stars feeling that the film "has too much hipness, too little heart."
