Leave your thoughts about I Believe in Unicorns.
| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiIn spite of its fanciful tendencies, the film nails the growing pains that result from love and loss. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoIf it falls victim to a bit too many college film student clichés, it’s easy to forgive Meyerhoff due to the great performance she draws from her talented young star and what this film means for her bright future. |
| Film Journal InternationalSimi Horwitz'I Believe in Unicorns' has its shortcomings. But it also lingers long after the final credits have rolled and bodes well for [writer-director Leah] Meyerhoff's future. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisStretched to 80 minutes, the story (by the director Leah Meyerhoff) almost breaks; that it holds together without compromising its simplicity or emotional authenticity only proves that, contrary to the maxim, you don’t need a gun if you’ve got the right girl. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonA sensitively observed and arrestingly impressionistic drama that feels at once deeply personal and easily accessible. |
| Examiner.comTravis HopsonEven when escaping into a glistening imaginary world of unicorns and dragons, one step remains firmly planted in an all-too-familiar yet strikingly real story of first love. |
| Thompson on HollywoodRyan LattanzioMeyerhoff's scrapbook style will irritate some, and enrapture others. But in a world of increasingly stentorian female filmmakers, she's one to watch. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussLeah Meyerhoff's earnest debut is more notable for the integrity of its female point of view and the consistency of its raw yet dreamy visual scheme -- which includes stop-motion fantasy interludes -- than for its familiar coming-of-age scenario. |
| Village VoiceDiana ClarkeVack is sexy and charming, but Dyer carries the film, the camera holding her expressive face in close-up, wavering between pain and wonder. |
| User ReviewRain kGreat indie flick that showcases a great talent behind the camera and in front. Films like this deserve better recognition from the masses. This will be one of those forgotten gems that only a selective few will get to watch. Keep an eye out for the talent involved and see where they go because if this film is any indication they all have a bright future. |
