Critic Reviews
"Regretting You will aggravate anyone with a low tolerance for watching easily resolvable misunderstandings persist throughout a story, driving unnecessary conflict."
"At a too-long two hours, Regretting You is at once mild and bumpy, any momentum jolted by basic hits of mourning or uninspired romance, mechanical delivery and off-timed humor."
"It's rubbish."
"Regretting You has all the pieces required for a moving family drama, yet it rarely uses them to full effect. The film relies too heavily on cliche and surface level emotion, leaving little room for nuance."
""Regretting You" has all the makings of a Hallmark/Lifetime Classic movie, but is elevated by its lead performances."
"The Allison Williams, Dave Franco-led romance from the author of The Last of Us is treacly and exceptionally boring."
