Critical response
Reviews of the film have been mixed. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 36% based on 22 reviews.[5] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 40 out of 100, based on reviews from eleven critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[6]
Owen Gleiberman of Variety called Fourth of July "a millennial indie trifle".[7] Glenn Kenny of The New York Times stated that the film goes too far in portraying Jeff's family as terrible people, writing, "The family dynamic here is so unrelentingly brutal that it's an actual shock to see how glib the movie is in papering it over."[8]
Kyle Smith of The Wall Street Journal lauded the film as "one of the best films of the year", calling it "acutely observed".[9]
A number of reviewers unfavorably compared the film to Tracy Letts's 2007 play August: Osage County, which is similarly about an extended rural family forced to confront its dysfunctions.[7][8]
