Fervently free of cynicism, Radnor's latest feature transcends its quirks with a smartly wound college excursion that looks to the past and finds nostalgia, possibilities and a new outlook on life.

The final result is a film that satisfies intellectually despite occasionally dipping into the land of the formulaic.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 14, 2020

There's nothing revolutionary going on here, but LIBERAL ARTS will speak wittily to certain audiences with an enjoyable clarity and resonance.

Full Review | Feb 13, 2020

All in all, Liberal Arts is more than above average with a nice take on nostalgic romanticism, filled with sweetness, charm and a lot of wisdom.

Credit is due to Radnor for assembling a strong supporting cast... but sadly his second outing behind the camera falls foul of many of the deadly sins committed by indie Sundance fodder past and present.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 5, 2019

This film is one of the rare exceptions to the rule. Yes, it's romantic; and yes, it's funny, but it's also a layered, thoughtful look at the meaning of coming-of-age.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 20, 2018

Radnor has a wisdom beyond his still-young years, and a talent for communicating it.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 20, 2018

There's nothing predictable about the way the romance unfolds.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 15, 2017

Liberal Arts seems aggressively cheery, determinedly lacking in negativity, and very affirming in its protagonist's masculine heroism. None of it is a surprise, and as a result, not much of it is very good, either.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 9, 2017

Romantic comedies don't set out to change your life, but Liberal Arts does provide an easy and enjoyable study on growing up and finding contentment, whatever your age.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 6, 2016

Liberal Arts is a resolutely vanilla-flavored concoction but still pleasant, amiable, and a little more thoughtful than your average rom-com.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 25, 2013

Poetic justice Is served in insightful LIBERAL ARTS

Full Review | Nov 8, 2013

An exuberant, heartfelt concoction, the kind of sunny comedy that's good for the soul.

Full Review | Jul 17, 2013

Some of the insights are a bit simplistic but for most of the running time, the film is an enjoyable diversion.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Jul 10, 2013

LIBERAL ARTS never manages to turn these great performances and familiar dilemmas into something substantial.

Full Review | Apr 3, 2013

Liberal laughs are guaranteed but memorable it ain't.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 14, 2013

A diverting generational three-way dialogue between those barely out of their teens, those in their mid thirties and those well north of fifty.

Full Review | Mar 4, 2013

...an enthralling sophomore effort from an almost excessively promising filmmaker...

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 15, 2013

A writer/director/star, casting himself as the guy who's irresistible to all sorts of women? Woody Allen's been pulling that trick for about 40 years.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 28, 2012

A warm, funny and, one imagines, rather personal film, one that's all about falling in and out of love, not just with people and places but the ideas they can sometimes embody.
