Leave your thoughts about King Jack.
| Irish TimesTara BradyWith a beautifully poised script, King Jack delivers an honest depiction of adolescent sexuality and a terrifying depiction of teen violence. |
| Movie MezzanineVikram MurthiThough Thompson clearly has a facility with young actors, as nearly every performance in the film is very good, it's not enough to save the film from mediocre clichés and poor dialogue baked into the script. |
| Slant MagazineTimothy E. RawHarsh punishments are dished out in a way that jolts the material away from coming-of-age cliché. |
| The ListHannah McGillAt once harsh and wistful in its depiction of off-the-rails youth in a depressed New York town. |
| Radio TimesDavid ParkinsonAn atmospheric rite of passage that suggests big things lie ahead for its writer-director and young cast. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabKing Jack isn't breaking new ground in its subject matter but it is an exceptional piece of film-making - one of the very best debut features of its type since David Gordon Green's George Washington. |
| CineVueMatthew AndersonThompson's strikingly assured and unflinching debut pumps new life into a well-trodden genre. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterThe combination of innocence and steely determination make Jack a sympathetic figure and the film delivers enough tough, tender insight into his life to strike a universal chord. |
| Village VoiceKenji FujishimaThis is thankfully no wallow in working-class miserablism. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenAlthough he’s working with familiar tropes, writer-director Felix Thompson, in his feature debut, wisely keeps clear of big, dramatic moments, maintaining instead a palpable naturalism through dialogue that has an unmannered, improvised feel and acting that follows suit. |
