"Fascinating, morally complex indie yarn about love and lust among twentysomethings." - Video Librarian

"One of Byler's strengths as a filmmaker is his understanding of human relationships and his ability to show the range of complex emotions and relationships through this finely-honed dialog." - Kim Voynar, Cinematical

"TRE is something rare: a perceptive, nonindulgent chamber piece that wrings a little art from that anxious age."
- Tim Grierson, LA Weekly

"Compelling, polished, sharply realized...performances and script etch the characters in terse, credible, assertive strokes that resist 'explaining all' in terms of personal histories." - Dennis Harvey, Variety

"...a surprising, dark twist that packs quite a mean punch. 'Friends,' this is not." - Caroline Stanley, Gen Art Pulse

"Byler’s film has not one false note in it. It positively drips with sexual tension."

"Byler has a knack for elegant composition." - Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
