Leave your thoughts about Come As You Are.
| Film ThreatAlan NgWith Come As You Are, the laughs are good and abundant, the characters are well-defined, and the story takes us on a wild trip to its heartfelt destination. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperCome As You Are has a wonderful way of making even the most obvious situations seem fresh and funny and original. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonThis is a funny and moving crowd-pleaser — a South by Southwest and Sundance selection, it won the audience award at the Napa Valley Film Festival and was an opening night film at S.F. IndieFest — and it goes down easy. |
| EmpireIan FreerEven if it hits well-worn beats, Come As You Are still shines a light on the oft-ignored sexual wants and needs of the disabled community, with humour, empathy and poignancy. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkImperfect, but delightful for much of its journey, Come As You Are packages an important human rights message in a comedy for the bros. |
| RogerEbert.comTomris LafflyCome As You Are tells its story through empathy, compassion and what feels like winsome insider-y humor. |
| The New York TimesDevika GirishIt softens the cruder edges of the original, but the candor with which Erik Linthorst’s script regards the characters’ sexual desires — coupled with the winning performances of the actors — leavens any sentimentalism. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenAt once frank, tender and unapologetically funny, Come as You Are is a sweet surprise. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThere’s a relaxed yet energetic comic rapport between players that suggests a good time was had by all. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeCome as You Are hits most of the familiar road-movie beats, and telegraphs its surprises pretty shamelessly. It's not the most subtle disability comedy you've seen, nor is it at all concerned with exploring the ethical issues surrounding sex work. But its lightness is a virtue in the film's rare sentimental moments, which might've been too corny to bear in other contexts. |
