Lister-Jones not only stars; she's also the writer and director. Just what she's been doing and why we haven't heard more about her is perplexing. Hopefully, Band Aid will change all that.

I wouldn't call "Band Aid" profound, but it's wiser and deeper than the average pop song, if not by much.

It's a terrific debut from Lister-Jones, on all fronts.

Band Aid [hits] so many right notes any false ones it might inadvertently strike are lost in a symphony of reflective magnificence I could listen to for days on end with no hesitation whatsoever.

Like so many premise-driven indie comedies, Band Aid crescendos with enthusiasm but has no idea how to strike a resolving chord.

In "Band Aid," writer/director/star Zoe Lister-Jones has a good handle on the rhythms that gird a flagging relationship. And this means her cathartic, comedic Sundance hit will also hit very close to home.

[The] glib, zinger-laden bickering is more wearisome than funny and never adds up to a believable relationship on the rocks.

A very funny - and then deeply emotional - comedy... Even single people and non-musical couples are bound to find it entertaining.

As a performer, Lister-Jones acquits herself well on both the comedic and melodramatic fronts. And the scruffily charming Pally comes across as a hybrid of Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd.

The film too often struggles to find a balance between being searing and charming; at best, it's a notable curio, one Lister-Jones may well build on for her next feature.

Full of sarcastic humor, earnest emotion and a phenomenal performance from writer/director/producer/star Zoe Lister-Jones, it hinges on the central relationship. But even with deep-rooted problems, this is a couple worth rooting for.

In her new film, Band Aid, Zoe Lister-Jones lays it all on the line and wins. Sally Potter: eat your heart out.
