Reception

Writing for Variety , Manuel Betancourt stated in his review "With a too-neat premise rubbing up against a clearly lived-in sense of place, Notice to Quit feels like an amiable sitcom pilot set in the New York City of the Safdie brothers". [7] David Ehrlich of IndieWire scored the film a grade -B, writing, "Notice to Quit is redeemed by the simple fact of its nature: This isn’t a film that lives in the lows and highs of its defining moments so much as it’s a film that’s sustained by the strength it takes to put one foot in front of the other". [9]
