| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinIt succeeds at times in spite of itself, though it ultimately adds up to less than the sum of its sometimes impressive, sometimes insufferable parts. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinI Am Not a Hipster is the kind of lovingly crafted, deeply affecting drama that gives small indie films a good name. It's also a terrific showcase for first-time feature writer-director Destin Daniel Cretton and his superb leading man, Dominic Bogart. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyA deeper glimpse of the San Diego indie-rock scene around him might have made Brook's self-absorbed resentment less overbearing. |
| Village VoiceAaron CutlerThe film's energy is frequently low, befitting that of its main character, a stalled, self-loathing, San Diego–based indie musician named Brook (Dominic Bogart), breathing contempt for anyone asking him personal questions. |
| User ReviewCarlos DDon't let the title fool you. This is one of the best movies I've seen in a really long time. Absolutely beautiful. |
| User ReviewAmjad AOverall, a good indie film which only appeals to artsy fans. |
| User ReviewGabe SThis is a solid Indie movie. Dominic Bogart gives a performance to remember in this drama about an up-and-coming Indie rock musician whose way of grieving after his mother's death is by making music. It is funny, sad, deep, and warm-hearted. |
| User ReviewTodd GAffecting view of an unhappy artist who must come to terms with grief and anger. The artist's music plays perfect counterpoint to his strong performance. Director Destin Cretton creates a semi-autobiographical story which Dominic Bogart brings to life. The use of the Hipster persona is both a source of acclaim for the main character and a shield of anger and disdain to avoid connection with others. Too raw to be just a send-up of the culture, this tale shows that we should let go of inconsequential things, not vilify them. However, the character is pretty unrelenting on himself with his constant brooding. The ability to like this character wanes even as his likability increases due to the arrival of his sisters. For some viewers, we see the "why" of his resentment too late, for others just barely in time to make the movie amazing. |
| User ReviewJen HIn which not a lot happens and Dominic Bogart plays an incredibly believable narcissist. It's a movie of moments, a lot of lovely moments. It is earnest in its execution, but, as a movie, it feels incomplete. |
