Rolling Stone "It explores a world that is no bed of roses and in the process stumbles upon something very sweet."USA Today "[A] deceptively quirky take on the homecoming comedy that gradually and deftly deepens to end on a note of redemption marked by a bracing largeness of spirit and acceptance."Los Angeles Times "GARDEN STATE is an introspective, melancholy piece of slacker existentialism which rips apart occasionally to reveal belly laughs and tiny miracles." Uncut "[With] an easy-going openness, unfolding episodically at a rambling pace and presenting its most distinctive touches nonchalantly..." Sight and Sound "[A] modestly magical indie..."
