Leave your thoughts about 12 and Holding.
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerOne of the films of the year. Unmissable. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunThe children are precocious about some things and hopelessly naive about others, just like in real life, and the performances from Michael Cuesta's young cast are remarkable. |
| Metromix.comMatt PaisA sensitive and moving account of the wounds inflicted by birth, by parents and by accident, and the mistakes and small victories that help us move on. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderDirectors like Todd Solondz and Larry Clark are fond of tormenting and exploiting their young characters, but Cuesta seems to sympathize with his. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.One of the most exceptional, down to Earth portrayals of childhood and adolescence in the face of tragedy I've ever seen... |
| OregonianMike RussellIt's a lot of drama to pack into just more than 90 minutes, and Cuesta's low-key visual approach plays nicely against the film's roiling passions and over-the-top (some might say too over-the-top) final act. |
| Reel.comGary Goldstein12 and Holding is a deft reminder of that fleeting time between childhood and puberty when everything still seems possible, even if getting there may seem virtually impossible. It's a special film to watch, whatever your age. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersWhile the film doesn't have the same emotional impact of his acclaimed debut, Cuesta is a steady, self-assured filmmaker who knows how to command an audience's attention. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...makes one want to reevaluate L.I.E. to see whether it was a lousy film hiding behind a great Brian Cox performance because this one plays like a sitcom directed by Larry Clark |
| South Florida Sun-SentinelPhoebe FlowersAn intriguing -- if not indelible -- portrait of the difficulty of being not just an adolescent, but the parent of one. |
