- 70The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeA self-aware laffer that indulges in rom-com contrivance up until the point it judo-flips them to its own ends.
- 60The DissolveMike D'AngeloThe DissolveMike D'AngeloAs contemporary romantic comedies go, it’s by no means an embarrassment, ranging from politely bland at its worst to very nearly inspired at its best. It could have been so much more, though, had its makers been prepared to grapple with the genuinely thorny, surprisingly incisive idea at the movie’s center.
- 50Los Angeles TimesAnnlee EllingsonLos Angeles TimesAnnlee EllingsonA Case of You is perfectly enjoyable as far as indie rom coms go — just not particularly original.
- 42The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyThe A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyThe movie is about as generic as modern romantic comedies get.
- 40The New York TimesAndy WebsterThe New York TimesAndy WebsterWhile this unrelentingly midtempo movie milks Brooklyn for its chic, it manages to denude it of its color.
- 33The PlaylistRodrigo PerezThe PlaylistRodrigo PerezThere’s some interesting ideas floating around about identity, manhood, and what it means to connect with someone in an over-connected world, but A Case Of You (named for a Joni Mitchell song that’s not actually in the film) never actively explores them. Instead, it delves into generic rom-com and ropey cliché to little comic effect.
- 30Village VoiceInkoo KangVillage VoiceInkoo KangA Case of You is a disappointing romantic comedy that aspires to social relevance until the third act, when it settles for pat Freudian revelations.
- 30VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyA lot of interesting, funny performers aren’t very interesting or funny in director Kat Corio’s A Case of You.
- 25Slant MagazineAndrew SchenkerSlant MagazineAndrew SchenkerKat Coiro's film takes the comedy of discomfort to new levels of cringe-worthiness by presenting.
