As the characters wander through the countryside, the film's focus wanders too, sometimes away from the audience's interest.

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
Charging Albert's film with looking too much like an American chick flick is to give it short shrift: For all the drinking, dancing and group hugs, by the end of their 36-hour trip down memory lane, the women's problems remain unresolved and poisonous secrets are still leaking out.
The New York Times by Manohla Dargis
It’s a theme as familiar as life. The five women, all perfectly cast and almost perfectly played.
Albert elicits good performances from her cast, but she fails to give viewers reason to care about their characters.
