“Jay Kelly wants to be Wild Strawberries, but it’s more like Mr. Holland’s Opus. The mind reels at how the director of prickly films like Greenberg could make something this soft and bathetic, gently teasing Jay’s self-absorption while also indulging it to an eye-rolling degree. Does anybody involved have any idea how off-putting and unrelatable this is?” – North Shore Movies, 11/24/2025
