| thelondonpaperStuart McGurkThe real star is Channing Tatum as the alpha-chimp leader of Dito's pack. The camera doesn't just love him, it wants to marry him, settle down, and have his babies. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfAfter the first 20 minutes, Saints smoothes out the kinks and starts to resemble the open wound collection of memories it was intended to be. |
| Chicago TribuneJessica ReavesThe movie is awash in great performances by actors known and otherwise. |
| Metromix.comMatt PaisHas a clarity of vision that can only come from a filmmaker telling his own story, blessed with perceptive hindsight and riveting performances all around. |
| CHUDDevin FaraciA truly powerful, moving and insightful look at the confusing cusp of adulthood and the scars it leaves you with. |

| Empire MagazineDamon WiseAmbitious coming-of-age drama, this may hit a false note here or there but the performances are magnetic. |
| Film Journal InternationalErica AbeelMontiel's first effort remains episodic and inward, failing to build a bridge to the viewer. |
| BBC.comStella PapamichaelIt positively crackles with energy, featuring startlingly raw performances from a cast that also includes Shia LaBeouf as the young Dito. And if it looks ragged around the edges, that's as it should be. |
| Empire Magazine AustralasiaLuke GoodsellMontiel's honey coated Queens of the mid-'80s is rich with the violence and carnality of teenagers, and the performances of LaBeouf (as the young Dito) and Channing Tatum (as his Stanley Kowalski-like grunt friend, Antonio) are raw pleasures. |
