While Shelton has made a formidable career directing TV episodes and comedy specials, her personal films are still her most rewarding.March 30, 2018
Another one of Shelton's delightfully untucked meanders into the crossroads of lives, Outside In may be her quietly affecting best yet.April 02, 2018
This is an conversation- and character-driven film with an occasional eye for something more ineffable, but Falco and Duplass's complicated, nakedly searching performances are the main event.April 05, 2018
It's a completely believable web of conflicting desires among people who lack the language and wherewithal to ask for what they want. But stick with it, and Outside In's relentless sadness gives way to something more gently hopeful...April 12, 2018
Falco goes deep in a rare Hollywood grownup love story.April 17, 2018
Bolstered by the quiet compassion that has always been her strong suit, Shelton has turned in another stunning independent feature that no one who enjoys the quieter side of life should miss.April 04, 2018
The power of these performances is that you leave thinking that Chris and Carol are out there, somewhere, and you wish them well.April 06, 2018
Falco is aces at this kind of performance-though it's quieter than we've seen her in a long time-and Duplass, who co-wrote the movie, nearly sags with sadness.April 02, 2018
[Lynn Shelton's] actors are always natural and unaffected, but in [Edie] Falco and [Jay] Duplass, she's found interpreters who seem to breathe her characters.March 31, 2018
Takes some time to develop that tension into something genuinely dramatic, but Falco's performance is strong enough to make the film compelling even in its softest moments.April 05, 2018
Director Lynn Shelton brings a high empathic bar to Outside In, then dares the audience to clear it.May 12, 2018
It merely entangles Chris and Carol in unworkable circumstances, which Shelton opens up with a deftly portrayed supporting cast, hardscrabble imagery, and reckonings that mostly emerge from empathy.
