Critic Reviews:
- " Deftly balancing humor and grief, “The Bachelors” is fueled by wonderfully human performances and fully realized characters. " – Kimber Myers (Los Angeles Times)
- " Voelker excels at guiding the cast through some complicated emotional territory and maintains strong arcs for each of the principal characters. " – Justin Lowe (Hollywood Reporter)
- " A perfect example of those light American indie dramas that fancy themselves as sophisticated, but in fact have far less value than a good blockbuster. " – Edward Porter (Sunday Times, UK)
