Leave your thoughts about The New Romantic.
| VarietyAmy NicholsonThe film only feigns at analysis. It’s as naïve about love as Blake herself, who skips through the world like a temperamental child. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkThe New Romantic is the rare film that presents these relationships without judgment offering up the good, bad, painful, and confusing as a matter of fact. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThis Canadian Nora Ephron-like rom-com aspires to explore the meaning of love but misses the target because it's not on point about carrying through on its cynicism. |
| Elements of MadnessDouglas Davidson... an absolutely refreshing take on a rom-com/coming-of-age story ... |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Chandler LevackAs sincere and entertaining as it is, The New Romantic makes the classic university mistake of trying to ace the exam by cramming the night before. |
| Toronto StarBruce DeMaraThe waif-like Barden is splendid in the central role, using her expressive eyes in the subtlest of ways to convey emotions. |
| Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweThe New Romantic comes off as too forced and calculated. |
| The Hollywood OutsiderAaron PetersonA clever script and a star-making performance from Jessica Barden elevates The New Romantic, echoing an early 80's John Hughes. |
| Film ThreatAyurella Horn-MullerRich with talent, this flick is missing that fundamental thing that sets one rom-com apart from the rest; a lasting feeling that what you’re watching matters, or means something. |
| Crooked MarqueeMeredith BordersThe New Romantic is charming and funny, a very overt nod to Nora Ephron. |
