Housekeeping for Beginners

Reviews

• "Stolevski’s handling of the balance between jostling high spirits and the creeping dread of loss is supremely confident; his storytelling is fresh, authentic and genuinely exciting."
  - Screen Daily
• "Within HOUSEKEEPING FOR BEGINNERS restless, naturalistic aesthetic, Stolevski crafts complex and poignant images, contrasting the playacting the couple is forced to do with their searing gazes."
  - Los Angeles Times
• "In its cheerfully disordered way, HOUSEKEEPING FOR BEGINNERS tells us that families, like last-minute meals, must sometimes be created from whatever ingredients are at hand."
  - The New York Times
• "Stolevski’s lively, garrulous script may be plot-heavy, but the film isn’t propelled as much by grand narrative turns as it is by the powderkeg reactivity of its characters. Each scrap and squabble and occasional flash of understanding between them activates the film anew, so no interpersonal dynamic here ever feels comfortably settled."
