It is a true friendship that lives with two neighbors who are in the throes of their strong friendship. Everything began to go against what both wanted and turned that friendship into an emotional journey when one was diagnosed with cancer. It may be catastrophic, but friendship may turn into an emotional drama between them.

...a consistently watchable endeavor that's heightened by the superb, engrossing efforts of its stars...

While "Paddleton" takes its time to get there, it ultimately reaches a deeply poignant conclusion. If you're patient enough, that alone could be worth the trip.

[T]o fight against "Paddleton" and its no-frills, in-the-moment mission of mercy is, ultimately, useless.

To get a sense of how excruciating the first hour is, you need to imagine Dumb and Dumber played for tears instead of laughs.

On the whole, Paddleton isn't quite as strong as was Lehmann's relatively little-seen debut, Blue Jay, but it builds to a duet as harrowing and tender and moving as anyone could desire, or fear, or both.

Whatever may feel annoying or disingenuous about Paddleton is trumped by the emotional honesty of its ending, and the remarkable tenderness of Romano's work.

A tremendously authentic film. [Full review in Spanish]

Offbeat dramedy has mature themes, some swearing.

It is a film that deserves to find an audience, for whilst it presents familiar narrative arches, it presents a refreshing, beautiful take on male relationships.

Arguably the bromance movie of the year, Paddleton will leave you with an empty box of tissues, calling your best friend.

Previous writing-directing work by Duplass with his brother, Jay ("Jeff Who Lives at Home"), could be quietly devastating. "Paddleton" is mostly just quiet.

Thanks to two pitch-perfect performances, Paddleton is bittersweet and poignant beyond words.
