Lynn Shelton wrote and directed two superior indie comedies, Humpday (2009) and Your Sister’s Sister (2011)… Now she’s back with an engrossing drama about love and circumstance, and there isn’t a false note from start to finish.

TOP CRITIC
What keeps Outside In interesting throughout is the nuanced work of its so very watchable leads – especially Duplass, who spent the first half of his career behind the camera writing, directing, and producing film and TV with his brother Mark.

The power of these performances is that you leave thinking that Chris and Carol are out there, somewhere, and you wish them well.

[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.
