Release

The film premiered to generally favorable reviews. Manori Ravindran for the National Post wrote "Millennial angst in gritty urban centres could warrant its own section in The New York Times. We’re poor, we’re jobless, we’re lonely, we get it. But there’s an honesty and whip smart humour to the micro-budget Everyday Is Like Sunday that separates it from similar fare. [3] Exclaim!'s Kevin Scott praised the film as a "fiercely funny depiction of a specific brand of late 20s malaise." [4]
