The Los Angeles Times noted that "The images of 'Particle of Truth' are so sharp and cut so deep. It's as if its writer-producer-director Jennifer Elster made them with a scalpel.'[2] Other positive comments include "standout performances...its damn fine," and "NY indie airily pulls of what Hollywood mightily strives for--believable romantic comedy".[3]
