| Movie NationRoger MooreEverybody Wants Some!! is just Linklater showing he can still summon up the immaturity to do a film like the ones he did when he had no name, no polish and was just starting out...This is the sort of movie he’d have made had he never grown as a filmmaker, if he’d only been a one-trick indie cinema pony, like Kevin Smith. And the world has already decided one Kevin Smith is more than enough. |
| Common Sense MediaYvonne CondesYou won't be able to shake writer/director Ian MacAllister McDonald's powerful commentary on what it's like to grow up today when you're less than perfect. |
| Under the RadarZach HollwedelMcDonald's point, that we're all freaks, or none of us are, doesn't deliver complete satisfaction, but it's a nuanced and pointed statement that lingers long after the end credits stop rolling. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeIt's as honest and clear-eyed about the past as its predecessor, another in a filmography of unpredictable gems. It may be most like Dazed in that the public could take a while to appreciate it for what it is. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Andrew ToddEven when the script falters, it's saved by a small cast that nails the required flavours of social ineptitude, refusing to succumb to stereotype. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonWhat seems like an ordinary teenage comedy about cliques and bullying on the surface is actually a modestly perceptive and touching glimpse into the ways in which we transition from adolescence into adulthood. |
| User ReviewLee MFantastic film! Every who has ever experienced being different than the norm will love it! |
| User ReviewLisa OThis non-predictable, nontraditional story line keeps your interest from beginning to end. The characters are so believable. I found myself cringing so many times as they struggled for some sort of connection in their worlds. Highly recommend this smart film! |
| User ReviewSteve SWhat a nice surprise. An original Netflix movie that deals with growing up in a real way. Thomas Mann gives a wonderful, as usual, performance and everyone delivers the depth needed about how peoples unique qualities actually make them more functional in the real world. |
| User ReviewPaulo CTo me, the movie was way to boring and the how the movie was filmed was not interesting at all, I understand that the movie's aim was probably to raise awareness on bullying, self-esteem, body shaming and accepting urself and others. but i feel like it was poorly executed. |
