Leave your thoughts about Crush.
| RogerEbert.comChristy LemireDespite the familiar settings and tropes in director Sammi Cohen’s debut feature film, Crush feels refreshingly contemporary. |
| IndieWireJude DryCrush is, for better or worse, just like every other teen rom-com, extraordinary in its ordinariness. It succeeds at what it sets out to do: Give queer kids a totally enjoyable, and often quite funny, mainstream love story with a happy ending. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayThe movie’s aggressive hipness can be a turnoff at times. But once it settles down into a more typical coming-of-age story, Crush becomes disarmingly sweet and relatable. |
| The New York TimesAmy NicholsonIt is clear from the offset which sibling will win both Paige’s affection and the obligatory climactic smooch. The journey there can drag. More fresh is the movie’s sex-positive empathy. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreUnfortunately, that’s exactly what the filmmakers hope, that you’ll be so swept up in “representation” that you won’t notice how generic the story is, and how dull and drab and laugh-starved its execution turns out to be. |
| VarietyTomris LafflyWhat’s jarring in Crush is the absence of some requisite dose of youthful mischief, a sense of stakes and perhaps even a lightly scandalous touch, integral to the spirit of many of the genre staples Cohen and co-writers Kirsten King and Casey Rackham attempt to revive on their own terms. |
| IGNSiddhant AdlakhaHulu’s Crush is a queer coming-of-age movie in which very little happens, and whose characters barely exist outside of their joking lines of dialogue. Its young actors are a delight, but even as a story of teenage crushes, it rarely captures what it feels like to be young and in love. |
| User ReviewjbronteA heart-warming and fun queer comedy that delivers a much needed, refreshing take on the coming-of-age love story. Charming and authentic with just enough angst, Crush endearingly celebrates the romantic comedy tropes and clichés make that it all the more special. After so many recycled boy-meets-girl love stories, it's about time we had our wholesome, cheesy girl-meets-girl romcom. |
| User ReviewkolarsI think the movie is a little hard to latch onto in the beginning because of how cringe it is but as you go on you get invested in the love triangle the main character is stuck in and it makes you want to follow through to see where it goes and who she ends up with. For a Rom-com movie in this age I think it was executed well. |
