Jason Bailey

RTFlavorwireMay 27, 2016

A film so tuned in to the pre-collegiate experience that scenes which play as comedy to some audiences will land as harrowing tragedy to others.

RTLessons of DarknessNov 6, 2009

Content to occupy that middle ground where insights are authentic but far from revelatory and comedy is more amiable than riotous.

RTEmpire MagazineSep 18, 2009

Without recourse to frilly cuffs or a montage to A Flock Of Seagulls' greatest hit, it plays the '80s card for something heartfelt.

RTDeep Focus ReviewDec 2, 2023

Eisenberg and Stewart have a low-key chemistry that serves the movie well.
