- 70Village VoiceNick PinkertonVillage VoiceNick PinkertonRy Russo-Young's character study of a gal passing the worst years of her life in cool North Brooklyn, leads off with a scene that lets you know right away that you're in the good hands of a young director sensitive to the idiosyncratic details that breathe life into a movie.
- 70Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleLos Angeles TimesRobert AbeleThe movie achieves its own nervy sensitivity about youthful urban despair.
- 60Time OutNick SchagerTime OutNick SchagerThe result is a work that radiates a boozy, Bukowski-esque downward spiral, all alcohol-fueled anger and aimless sadness.
- An uncomfortably honest portrait of a slow mental breakdown in self-consciously bohemian, twentysomething Brooklyn, Ry Russo-Young's You Wont Miss Me is so earnest the title's missing an apostrophe.
- 50The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisFor all its many irritations, You Wont Miss Me has undeniable punch, a frayed energy that feels janglingly unstable. Is Shelly crazy or just a pain in the neck? We're not really sure, and neither is she.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckAn aimlessly wandering DIY-indie that will send viewers retreating to popcorn movies at their local multiplex.
- 30Chicago ReaderCliff DoerksenChicago ReaderCliff DoerksenDirector Ry Russo-Young, who cowrote the script with Schnabel, is gunning for a big generational statement, but her ordnance is strictly small bore.
- 25New York PostKyle SmithNew York PostKyle SmithNever amounts to anything more than a rambling, studenty exercise in undergraduate cinema vérité. Some expressive, arty photography and a mildly satiric attitude toward stage poseurs do little to make the picture bearable.
- 20New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanOther than those related to cast and crew, it's difficult to imagine who else would sit through Ry Russo-Young's self-obsessed indie.
