Jeremy of The Daily Rotation wrote, "Lena Dunham is responsible for creating the fantastic HBO drama Girls and yet she also holds credit as writer of Ry Russo-Young‘s Nobody Walks, an indie drama that cracks under its own pressure and provides the audience with one of the most uncomfortable ways to spend an hour and a half. Olivia Thirlby and John Krasinski star in this misfire of epic proportions that makes me question Dunham’s ability as a full-length feature writer."

his week offers up several of early fall’s bigger releases including a COPS style action film, a sex hotline comedy, a death row drama, and several straight to disc releases. When it comes to catalog releases there are several John Wayne titles, some films from the golden age of Hollywood, and a few low budget B-movies.
Cinema Blend: At the start of the Sundance selected drama Nobody Walks, Peter (John Krasinski) and Julie (Rosemarie DeWitt) are a happily married couple with two kids and cool house in the trendy Los Angeles neighborhood of Silver Lake. But then they opened their home to Martine, a favor that soon leads husband and wife down separate roads of temptation and tribulation.
THR - Maybe nobody walks but almost everybody screws in this momentarily titillating but increasingly tiresome variation on the Teorema, in which a temporary house guest upsets the equilibrium of a Hollywood household with her heedless sexual dalliances. Except for one character, nobody acts like an adult in Nobody Walks; there's a lack of moral dimension, little thought of consequences and--to ask for a different, more sophisticated movie—no comic perspective, only weak and/or muddle-headed people acting on immediate impulses when no good can come of it. Cast names provide this chic-looking production with a sufficient profile for a modest theatrical tour, but prospects are better in assorted home entertainment venues.
