Critics reviews

Whilst the final product feels poorly paced and dull, it doesn't feel like an unfinished mess, suggesting that Saville has completed the exact project that he wanted to make. The film culminates in an ending that perfectly fits the rules and regulations of satisfying self-contained scriptwriting 101, but does little to make A Month of Sundays worth noting.

Delicate performances by Anthony LaPaglia and Julia Blake go a long way toward making the trite plotting seem sophisticated from moment to moment, but commercial prospects are as mild as the movie itself.

His third feature may traverse well-worn notions of redemption and acceptance involving family and mortality; however strongly written parts — and good performances, particularly by lead actor and executive producer Anthony LaPaglia — enliven the film's brush with the familiar.

This modest, warmhearted character study is carried by a solid lead performance from Anthony LaPaglia, who plays a man unable to express his feelings through anything but underhanded snark. [It's] a bit stretched in running time and not necessarily upbeat enough for mainstream viewing.
