Skills Like This screened worldwide on the film festival circuit prior to its American theatrical release by Shadow Distribution in 2009. The film received positive reviews from publications ranging from The New York Times and Variety to Salon.com. In her review for The New York Times, Jeanette Catsoulis wrote, the offbeat chemistry of the cast, along with Monty Miranda s eye-catching direction...make all the difference... Drawing much of its energy from an eclectic and fully integrated soundtrack, Skills Like This gazes indulgently on 20-something aimlessness and the comfort of assigned roles. In Mr. Miranda s hands sloth can be more appealing than you might think. Variety further stated that the main characters of Skills Like This showed considerable intelligence and chemistry in addition to calling the film deftly directed and from Salon Andrew O Heir reviewed Skills Like This as, Cheerfully anarchic...indescribably genuine. The film screened in theatrical release for four months.
