“McNairy is wryly funny as Emmett; Ben Mendelsohn shows up as his fierce, sarcastic Australian neighbor; Nolte is deeply sympathetic as a man filled with nebulous remorse; and the director’s son Atticus performs admirably as a teen out of time — though perhaps in the wrong direction, with a discernibly modern moodiness.”

“That the film is dedicated to Affleck’s parents is certainly sentimental, but it’s a struggle to make sense of what its static images are trying to say, even though its characters explain their anxieties at length.”

“As a story about their stories — and about guests who bring wisdom, and tales which can heal — it ends up especially noncommittal, with barely a flourish to accentuate its subjects’ moods, or judicious directorial decisions to grant the camera meaningful relationships with their points of view.”

“Caleb’s arrival on the couple’s farm coincides with rumors of grisly killings — every time someone mentions these or other anecdotes, they tend to play out on screen, each one courtesy of a different camera team (though the movie still has an overarching style and mood).”

“It’s also a film where explaining its narrative mechanics and its crisscross production takes a while — it has eight different cinematographers: Masanobu Takayanagi, Lachlan Milne, Adam Arkapaw, Marcell Rév, Holger Jungnickel, Joaquin Baca Asay, Noah Fallis, and Affleck himself — but then actually explaining the function of each moving part doesn’t feel worth the effort.”

“As Bob Dylan’s “Shelter From The Storm” accompanies a downpour — thankfully, the track’s significance ends up a tad deeper than mere respite from a deluge — Evelyn’s voiceover speaks of welcoming and learning from guests, and of Persian mystics who spin grand tales, gesturing towards “Company” as a modern “One Thousand and One Nights.” So, it’s no surprise when Evelyn takes on the role of Scheherazade, regaling the evening’s guests with a story she attributes to her recently deceased relative.”
