Reception

Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Dependably genuine, and suffused with Mr. Jaglom’s increasingly mellow intelligence, this lighthearted backstage drama will feel to his fans like a gathering of familiars."[2]

Katie Walsh of the Los Angeles Times also gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Ovation is a loving tribute to the theater, to the intoxicating power of live performance and to the bond among performers and crew, from the lighting guy in the booth down to the star on the stage."[1]

Walter Addiego of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film a negative review and wrote, "You may get the sense you’ve wandered into a super-intense acting class or someone’s therapy session — a hothouse atmosphere that’s oppressive."[6]
