- 100The New York TimesA.O. ScottThe New York TimesA.O. ScottThe strength of Tuesday, After Christmas, Mr. Muntean's fourth feature, lies in its rigorous, artful and humane fidelity to quotidian circumstance.
- 100SalonAndrew O'HehirSalonAndrew O'HehirMore broadly this is a resonant, vivid and finally heartbreaking tale about the universal difficulty of marriage and the endless self-delusion of the human condition, driven by a trio of amazing dramatic performances.
- 91The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayThe A.V. ClubNoel MurrayMore about well-observed moments of everyday life than it is about heightened melodrama.
- 88Slant MagazineNick SchagerSlant MagazineNick SchagerAt first glance, Tuesday, After Christmas seems, in both form and content, only a modestly ambitious endeavor. Yet the singular attention with which it carries out its aims-and the rigorous success it ultimately attains-is nonetheless unsparing, and bracing.
- 80Time OutJoshua RothkopfTime OutJoshua RothkopfDirector Radu Muntean has pulled off the near-impossible, turning each scene (captured in capacious long takes) into arias of generosity for his actors.
- 75New York PostV.A. MusettoNew York PostV.A. MusettoThey breathe originality into an oft-told story.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterNatasha SenjanovicThe Hollywood ReporterNatasha SenjanovicThe dissected minutiae of this adultery drama unfortunately doesn't add up to a very original or moving whole.
- 40Boxoffice MagazineRichard MoweBoxoffice MagazineRichard MoweRather than take a broad-brush approach director Muntean boggs us down in the detail of an adulterous affair. There are some similarities with his previous outing "Boogie" in that the main character is a man having a premature mid-life crisis.
- 40Village VoiceNick PinkertonVillage VoiceNick PinkertonUnrelentingly mundane, as if made with the sole purpose of draining the topic of adultery of any prurient interest.
