Reception
One of Our Own did not receive a commercial release in the United States after financial backers insisted on edits that director Abe Levy and star Matthew Lillard found unacceptable; an unaltered cut instead screened at film festivals in 2007 and 2008.[3][4] In Australia, Flashback Entertainment issued the film on DVD.[5]
Ken Eisner of Variety compared the film to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, writing:
Bolstered by a smart script and razor-sharp perfs, this impressively taut adult drama reps an edgy yet amusing look at middle-class fertility rites. Presence of funnyman Matthew Lillard in a harder, change-of-pace role could help get this gem to the right thirtysomething auds.[1]
