  • “I liked this! It is weird, small, and unexpected.”

    – Christy Lemire, FILM WEEK (KPCC – NPR LOS ANGELES)
  • “Yes, another Watergate movie, but this one's fun and totally fictional.”

    – Ricard Roeper, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
  • “This feature is [Dan Mirvish's] best-directed work and also his most Altman-like.”

    – Matt Zoller Seitz, ROGEREBERT.COM
  • “’18½’ is a unique version of a political thriller, exploring characters through zany moments of comedy and tense moments of paranoia.”

    – Amanda Mazzillo, FILM INQUIRY
  • “Mixing dark comedy and mild suspense, Dan Mirvish's’18 ½’ is not the movie many would expect it to be. But the unpredictability of it all makes this madcap political fiction thoroughly diverting.”

    – Andrew Stover, FILM THREAT
  • “’18½’ is a very funny piece of “What if?” storytelling.”

    – Mike McGranaghan, AISLE SEAT
