"Full of watch-worthy, bittersweet charm."
— Sankeerthna Vedamtam, MovieJawn
"It isn’t hyperbole to say that Amanda Peet gives the performance of a lifetime in 'Fantasy Life.'"
— Stephen Saito, Variety
"With Amanda Peet in a remarkable star turn, it marks a promising debut for writer-director Matthew Shear."
— Angie Han, The Hollywood Reporter
"A comedy that doesn’t just give Amanda Peet a comeback role but might feature her best screen work to date."
— Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
"Fantasy Life is a promising filmmaking debut from Matthew Shear with a rarely better Amanda Peet stealing the show."
— Joey Magidson, Awards Radar
"The top-to-bottom cast of proudly eccentric actors ... ensures that every scene has moments of truth, and the filmmaker’s empathy pushes the movie over the finish line."
— Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
"With less of an emphasis on romance and more on the platonic connection between two lonely individuals, Fantasy Life is a tender reminder that having a friend to rely on in times of need is all that's necessary to carry on."
— Isabella Soares, Collider
"Amanda Peet fans rejoice! This tale of broken connections returns this acting sorceress to films, after 10 years, playing an aging star out to restart her career and her love life. She’s funny and fierce in all the right places."
— Peter Travers, The Travers Take
"Any movie that uses both Passion Fish and Lake Bell as punchlines knows exactly at whom it is aiming: Gen X moviegoers who miss Peet as a regular screen presence. It’s also one of the most flagrantly, hilariously Jewish movies in recent memory."
— Joe Gross, Austin Chronicle
