Reception
[edit]On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 55% of 11 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.6/10.[1] Edward Guthmann of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film a negative review, finding it to pale in comparison to other films of the Dogme 95 movement, writing: "The essence of Dogma is the stripping away of slick, external factors to produce an emotional rawness. "Reunion," filmed in California, has nothing to strip down to: instead of exposing the truth, it exposes incompetence and the emptiness of the script."[2]
