Movie Reviews

Metro Times (Detroit, MI) - 9/10 by Jeff MeyersSome of Mitchell's scenes are poignant and insightful, some are a bit too twee (cue the next Magnetic Fields tune), but as far as first-time efforts go, this Michigan-based indie mostly impresses.
New York Times - 9/10 by A.O. ScottWhat Mr. Mitchell gets splendidly right in this quiet, observant film, is the unsteady mixture of sophistication and naïveté that is central to the modern American teenage way of being in the world.
Associated Press - 9/10 by Christy LemireMitchell finds a balance that's just right in juggling all these emotions and presenting them believably in screen. His little movie is pretty much perfect in depicting youthful imperfection.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Joseph Jon LanthierThroughout this American Graffiti-like Circadian shuffle, we can sense these characters coming to grips with human realities that they dare not vocalize.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Wesley MorrisIt has a sense of small-town America that feels special even without great specificity. Some of the music on the soundtrack places it in 2007 or 2008, but, really, the film occurs outside of time, virtually outside of place (it's suburban Detroit), and in a void of cultural chic.
Boston Phoenix - 8/10 by Peter KeoughDavid Robert Mitchell's impressive if derivative debut doesn't delve so much into a myth as a mini-genre.
TheFilmFile.com - 8/10 by Dustin PutmanDodging easy melodrama and preferring to focus on the little moments that stay with us in our memories through the years, the picture's low-key indelibility sneaks up on the audience.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin ThomasFirst-time writer-director David Robert Mitchell tells a coming-of-age tale with such freshness and such bemused insight it's as if it has never been told before.
New York Post - 8/10 by Lou LumenickIt's an engaging piece of filmmaking on its own, beautifully shot and acted.
AV Club - 8/10 by Scott TobiasIt's a film where the feelings and experiences of young people are highly specific in detail, yet fundamentally universal and timeless.
