Leave your thoughts about Newness.
| HeyUGuysTy CooperDrake Doremus returns to Sundance with a heart wrenching dissection of love in the internet age. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoIt's grating in its alternate simplicity and pretensions, and the big fights between the two leads ring completely false. |
| ColliderAdam Chitwood'Newness' marks a moving, involving and emotionally charged entry into Doremus' filmography, and whether you're a fan of his other films or not, I think you'll find this one's a pleasure to take in. |
| The PlaylistNoel MurrayAt it’s best, Newness is about how nothing’s really all that new. |
| The VergeKaitlyn TiffanyNewness is a modern love story, where selfies and LTE play a role, but its sweet, wildly optimistic final minutes are something else entirely. |
| Punch Drunk CriticsTravis HopsonThe most sexually charged film he's made yet, Doremus shoots it with energy to match, delivering intimacy while suggesting voyeurism. |

| Screen InternationalTim GriersonAn initially captivating drama that loses steam once predictability starts to take hold. |
