	Media	Author	Review
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"What I enjoyed in 'Living Out Loud' was the comfort of these lives flowing briefly in the same stream. The sense that the unexpected was free to enter the story (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"

		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"LaGravenese may be unsteady at the helm, but his film insinuates like a torch song that keeps messing with your head."
		Variety	"[It] strikes some rich chords, but doesn’t quite put together a complete tune"
		Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"My mistake. I thought the movie was called 'Laughing Out Loud.' Turns out I couldn't have been more wrong."
