Leave your thoughts about We Are Your Friends.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfA little harder than the average After School Special, but it's about as obvious, stumbling through dreadful scenes of location identification and male bonding before it's back to the laptop and headphones. |
| FilmDrunkVincent ManciniWes Bentley is mesmerizing, and this is so close to being a great coming-of-age story that you wish it wasn't about electronic music. |
| The Film StageDan MeccaNot unlike the generation it's trying to represent, We Are Your Friends never really takes the time to consider what it would like to say. |
| Consequence of SoundDominick Suzanne-MayerEven setting aside for a moment that We Are Your Friends feels several years late to its own party, the film is still somehow both cloyingly of-the-moment and instantly obsolete. |
| NOW TorontoNorman WilnerIt follows a pretty familiar arc, but it hits the required beats with style and a couple of surprisingly well-considered performances. |
| GrantlandWesley MorrisIt's as if a Michael Lewis story or a 1980s Paul Schrader movie were intercepted by studio marketing execs who said, "You should turn Saturday Night Fever into a commercial for SunnyD." |
| Mark Reviews MoviesMark DujsikWe Are Your Friends tells a routine story, but it tells that story with flashes of insight and admirable conviction. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsLike its protagonist -- a 23-year-old DJ from the San Fernando Valley -- the coming-of-age story We Are Your Friends is sentimental, eager to please, and full of energy. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbrayOne of the dumbest studio films to come along since the days of FROM JUSTIN TO KELLY or SUPERCROSS: THE MOVIE |
| Film Journal InternationalChris BarsantiWe Are Your Friends is neither here nor there, like a song that can't decide whether it wants you to dance or be moved. |
