Leave your thoughts about On the Outs.
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.It's raw, it's gritty, and it's excellent. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanWhat makes the film feel genuine, however, are the performances. |
| Houston ChronicleBruce WestbrookHarrowing and heartbreaking, On the Outs is persuasively performed by fine actors, yet has the real feel of a documentary. |
| TheWorldJournal.comFrank OchiengGranted that On the Outs doesn't explore any new realms of destitute city life but it still contains unspeakable moments of desolation and disillusionment. |
| CinemaBlendScott GwinGuerilla storytelling on a profound level. |
| Slant MagazineNick SchagerDocumentarians by trade, the directors use rough DV cinematography and no score to amplify their tale's sense of lived-in reality. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanOn the Outs parses the hopes and terrors of blasted lives with an empathy that never cheapens into pity. The movie wounds as much as it heals, and that's its true power. |
| Entertainment InsidersJonathan W. HickmanSocially relevant and convincing, On The Outs should help to raise awareness that violent crime is no longer a man problem. |
| TV GuideKen FoxPowerful, documentary-style drama draws on the real-life experiences of "at risk" teenage girls. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezThe excellent performances by the three leads, and the filmmakers' refusal to sugarcoat reality, elevate the film far beyond after-school special territory into something far more lasting. |
