Leave your thoughts about Choose Connor.
| Village VoiceKristi MitsudaFor all the potential of this coming-of-age/political-awakening tale, Choose Connor undoes itself with an egregiously sordid turn. |
| Washington PostJohn AndersonIt's a film that works through guilelessness and cynicism. |
| Film ThreatDon R. LewisExcellent directing coupled with a smart script and solid acting make Choose Connor a movie worth your time. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasWhat makes Choose Connor so special and unsettling is the consistent adroitness and perfect timing with which Eberl makes his revelations. |
| FilmJerk.comEdward HavensHas flashes of incredible maturity and complexity [but the filmmaker] still has some things to learn about the basic tenets of storytelling before he can become a quality filmmaker. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibOnce Choose Connor ventures into the larger political arena, it begins to work against itself. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisWhat makes the journey compelling is the relaxed chemistry between the young actors and an insistently apprehensive tone that pervades even the most prosaic exchanges. |
| New York PostLou LumenickThis overlong, obvious and indifferently acted melodrama was written and directed by Luke Eberl, a former child actor, before he turned 21. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsBob StraussStranger things, no doubt, do happen. But ambitious, intelligent Eberl needed more mature storytelling skills to make Choose Connor seem plausible. |
| Time OutAnna KingFor reasons that are unclear, Choose Connor seems to both court relevance and avoid it, lapsing into allegory at inopportune moments. |
