Peter Hujar's Day Ratings & Reviews
The Travers Take
Peter Travers
In a mere 76 minutes, director Ira Sachs and his virtuoso actors, Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall, have captured a specific world in universal terms and made a film for the ages.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Sachs delivers a picturesque chronicle of everyday life that's breathtaking in its verisimilitude.
Boston Globe
Odie Henderson
This movie is a raging, unwatchable bore, filled with unnecessary details and interminable ramblings. Though it runs a mere 76 minutes, it feels like 76 hours.
Washington Post
Philip Kennicott
The film honors Hujar not by impersonating him, but by doing exactly what he did in a different medium: demanding we look long and hard at the world.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Peter Hujar's Day is a monument to the thrillingly mundane minutiae of living. I found it almost indescribably moving.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
It's niche, but if this is your niche you might dig it.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Peter Hujar's Day captures that elusive feeling of the past catching up with the present, in a city alive with whispering ghosts.

Melissa Anderson
Peter Hujar's Day reminds us of the pleasures of looking and listening intently.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
The result is a window into the pleasures of friendship and those days when the minutiae of your loved ones seems like the stuff that true connection is built on.
Filmspotting
Adam Kempenaar
Peter Hujar's Day doesn't ask big questions - it creates an ephemeral, meditative space that invites them.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Sachs presents his characters' intellect and emotion, their artistic energy, as inseparable from physicality: he avoids the cliché of talking heads and realizes the idea of talking bodies.
NPR
Bob Mondello
Writer and director Ira Sachs' character-portrait two-hander will likely sound stagy and static, but it turns out to be not just resonant, but surprisingly cinematic.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
The result is a charming experiment that should delight those who like their pleasures both nostalgic and voyeuristic.
The Reveal
Keith Phipps
Whishaw and Hall deliver lovely, tender performances that capture the friendship between the writer and her subject
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
A film about the unremarkable that's anything but.
Wall Street Journal
Zachary Barnes
Running only 76 minutes, the movie is a veristic and voluble delight, an exercise in eavesdropping on a pair of smart, funny people who wear posterity -- there's a tape recorder running, after all -- with wry lightness.
RogerEbert.com
Monica Castillo
The film is a surprisingly beautiful and subtle tribute to the balancing act it takes to be a working artist.
Slant Magazine
Chris Barsanti
The film attests not only to the breadth of Sachs's artistry but also to Hujar's devotion to exploring the relationship between high and low culture.
TheWrap
Chase Hutchinson
The conversation that Peter had with Linda being preserved here is a quietly radical act that, no matter how slow, is made into something eternal in Sachs' delicate, thoughtful direction.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
A masterpiece.
