Dean Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
This material might've worked better as sketches in an omnibus film.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
It's about imperfections and dealing with the moment, and how the aftermath of death helps shape the way we handle life.
Slashfilm
Angie Han
It ends a sweeter, more meaningful film than it begins.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
The lessons that Dean learns are pat and predictable, but this disarmingly winsome film is comfortable in the knowledge that universal truths can be the hardest things for people to discover for themselves.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
[Demetri Martin] makes the transition into feature filmmaking as writer, director and star with just the right blend of humor and heartbreak.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
A movie with which it is easy to find fault, and if you're a particular kind of person, you'll find fault with it without even trying too hard.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
A likable, slightly lightweight comedy about loss, grief, love, and the unbreakable bonds between fathers and sons.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
Whether it's Martin's writing or the superhuman efforts of Kline and Steenburgen, these scenes emerge as the most heartfelt moments; had he ditched the cartoonist and made a movie about a widower and a Realtor, Martin might have been onto something.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
I liked "Dean." And I liked Martin's direction. I just hope his next outing is a little more ambitious.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
This is regrettably derivative, low-boil material. It's almost afraid to invite true messiness or insightful belly laughs, and remains content to cruise on a wispy likability.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
"Dean" has its moments. The cast is solid, and the story moves along smoothly. Slight though it may be, it's a sweet enough tale, while it lasts.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Martin's a smooth enough director to make fuller and more ambitious pictures than "Dean." This one's a promising start.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
Stay patient through those Seinfeldian stretches in which Martin isn't so much acting as performing, and you'll be treated to the bonus of some surprising emotional depth and poignancy.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
Dean turns out to be quite touching, in retrospect. If only it were funny, clever, or in any other way particularly inspired from moment to moment.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
Mr. Martin, taking a lesson from Woody Allen, gives his character lots of amusing opportunities to skewer pretentiousness.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Dean left me eagerly anticipating Martin's next projects.
Slant Magazine
Kenji Fujishima
One has to wade through a lot of eye-rolling comic marginalia to get to the film's pained beating heart.
Collider
Kristen Yoonsoo Kim
A hilarious, heartfelt picture that feels refreshingly original despite having an age-old synopsis.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
'Dean' is a film that takes the Allen template as the jumping-off point for a story and storyteller that ultimately settles on a style and charm of its own.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
If grief dramedies are as much a rite of passage as romantic rebounds, it's exciting to imagine what Martin's next step as a filmmaker will look like.
