Golden Exits is a post love, post-passion and pro anti-depressant film. It is expressing its own curiosity at what it feels to be the inevitable conclusion of youth and living like there's no tomorrow.

I may be an old curmudgeon, but one with a better outlook on life and people than the characters in Alex Ross Perry's latest film.

A movie that gazes deep into its characters' unhappiness and emerges with something searching, sad - and perilously close to likable.

The strong ensemble cast is unable to do anything of interest with the script; it's far too self-indulgent and offputting
