Leave your thoughts about Never Goin' Back.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalle"Never Goin' Back" is happily silly and low-down and willing to indulge in gross humor, while presenting a story about friendship and about the consequences of growing up with no money or prospects. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinYou don't often see these characters on screen -- young, financially embarrassed but unashamed women determined to seek their hedonistic bliss while taking neither guff nor notes from the menfolk. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Jacob KnightWith Never Goin' Back, Frizzell isn't just making a stoner character study, but capturing a specific cultural moment. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeInspired at least in part by stunts Frizzell pulled when she was her characters’ age, this raucous parade of humiliation and embarrassment packs all the appeal of an outrageous anecdote hilariously retold by someone who can scarcely believe they ever did something so stupid. |
| Film InquiryAlistair RyderDespite the socio-economic backdrop, and the trap heavy soundtrack that places the film within the current cultural moment, Frizzell's film can't help but feel dated, overly reliant on cliched comedic concepts and scatological set-pieces. |
| CinemalogueTodd Jorgenson... manages some inspired moments of lunacy, and might have worked if it was consistently fresher or funnier, or if the audience could muster a shred of sympathy for its characters. |
| The Film StageJose Solís MayénEven if I didn't particularly enjoy watching characters projectile vomit and defecate onscreen, I was glad that women were doing it. |
| SlashfilmJacob HallWhat Never Goin' Back does is take a long hard look at a familiar comedic template and ask, "But what if ladies?" And then it does it better than just about everyone else. |
| PajibaRoxana HadadiFemale stoner comedy Never Goin' Back is raunchy and ridiculous, a portrait of girls behaving badly and not giving a f*ck. |
| KDHX (St. Louis)Martha K. BakerThat you have no trouble believing the characters' actions may say something about the actresses' abilities. Neither, however, do you care. |
