[7] Fionnuala Halligan of Screen Daily wrote that the film "makes very interesting choices around a fairly conventional structure", concluding, "It's a trope to compare every Finnish director to Aki Kaurismäki, but there is that same deadpan air to Family Time – and a distinctive style that indicates a young director feeling her way to an interesting future.
"[8] Meredith Taylor of Filmuforia wrote: "Family Time is a mature and memorable debut, Kouvo channelling Bergman, in his obsession to sweat the small stuff.
