Critics Consensus: Permission holds together in spite of its uneven narrative thanks to eminently watchable work from leads Rebecca Hall and Dan Stevens.

A small story made with big performances from leads Stevens and Hall, and while it hasn't gotten the promotional push for audiences to pay attention, people lucky enough to stumble across it will fall for everyone involved.
What is most unexpected about Permission is its sense of poignancy and tenderness. In its own way, it's quite heartbreaking.
You kind of want to slap everybody in Permission, and that's kind of the point.
While it deals with heavy relationship issues including the validity of monogamy, it manages an easy, seemingly effortless humor that seduces the audience while simultaneously breaking filmgoers' hearts.
Stevens and Hall are always interesting to watch. (In fact, you should watch him in "The Guest" and her in "The Awakening," if you want to see two excellent, lesser-known films.)
Ms. Hall ... is the standout, selling Anna's indecision even through some of the script's dubious patches.
The film is daring enough to earn your goodwill early and as it unfolds, it's refreshing to see a film about relationships that aims for the head more than the heart.
It is a work that raises an interesting debate about the importance given to monogamy... and the consequences that could result from ceasing to practice it. [Full review in Spanish]
Watching Permission, it is inevitable to think that a North American puritan will never be able to reach the truth of a French hedonist in regards to sexual behavior. [Full Review in Spanish]
An episode of Sex in the City with the mentality of another Friends [episode]. [Full Review in Spanish]
[Permission's] moral dilemma has the depth (and the same reactionary ideology) of 'Indecent Proposal'. [Full review in Spanish]
Ultimately, under the guise of maturity, Permission turns a promising premise into a juvenile and destructive display of emotionally immature people.
