Reception

Noel Murray from the LA Times wrote: "The problem is that "Peel" is so persistently twee that when it tries to introduce heavier themes - involving the lasting damage family and friends thoughtlessly inflict on each other - the general sense of unreality gets in the way."[1] Roger Moore from the website "Movie Nation" gave the movie only 1.5 stars out of 4, stating: "Hirsch is a gifted comic actor and could have made a lot more out of this unworldly guy who draws and snorkels obsessively and gets his hair cut about as often as Johnny Depp. And no, a few sweet moments in the final act don’t paper over the emptiness that precedes them. "Peel" is just as its title suggests, a movie that's all surface peel and no substance."[2]

gollark: Intel bad, you know.

gollark: Heresy.

gollark: I like playing Arch Linux btw.

gollark: Or delete the `bin` directory (except `stack_trace`, it needs that) and hope it won't notice.
