Reception
Dennis Harvey, writing for Variety said that the "'Noreaster' reps a promising if not entirely satisfying feature debut for writer-helmer Andrew Brotzman. Consistently intriguing effort at times feels uncertain how to balance its emphasis on two central protags."
IndieWire gave it a score of B+. Gabe Toro wrote: "As secrets unravel in the films
tense third act, youd think that the story would go off the rails, but Brotzman keeps the direction tight, creating an intimate story with low practical stakes, but heavy spiritual ones. The film doesnt resonate as sharply as it should (...) But Noreaster never disrespects him or the other characters in creating a
borderline claustrophobic drama with an ending that will likely haunt most moviegoers long after the credits have rolled."
