- 50The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe film's failure to raise the temperature gradually leaves viewers less involved than we should be.
- 50New York PostFarran Smith NehmeNew York PostFarran Smith NehmeThe stalker-enabling menace of Facebook is largely abandoned by midpoint, and Brief Reunion won't even prompt most people to change their privacy settings.
- 40Village VoiceErnest HardyVillage VoiceErnest HardyBeautifully filmed but written without the psychological depth or sleight of hand of the best thrillers.
- 40The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenThe film's biggest weakness is its unsympathetic main character, a snippy, nervous, expressionless control freak who gets more despicable as the story unfolds.
- Efficiently told and features solid performances, but without the juicy character detail, vise-grip suspense or black comic intensity of its memorable forerunners, it unwinds as a boilerplate genre item.
