Leave your thoughts about Whole New Thing.
| New York TimesStephen HoldenThis movie is a more conventional, but also more believable, exploration of the potential cost of thumbing your nose at society. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperThe story could easily be one of the older generation abusing an innocent, but this is not a hackneyed plot. The film is a modest production, but has a fair impact. |
| Filmcritic.comDon Willmotta small-scale film with big emotional payoffs. |
| New York PostKyle SmithLike a Canadian "Six Feet Under," the indie dramedy Whole New Thing mixes characters (teen and adult, gay and straight, married and single) who seem both completely plausible and capable of anything. |
| Jam! MoviesJim SlotekA lot of great ideas and flashes of enjoyable quirk wrapped in sad pennywhistles and typically mopey Canadian-movie pacing. |
| NewsdayRafer Guzman... promises slightly more than it delivers but still comes together nicely. |
| Chicago ReaderAlbert WilliamsThe film features subtle, honest performances by Daniel MacIvor (who also cowrote the screenplay) as the perplexed prof and engaging newcomer Aaron Webber as the sensitive student. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayDevelops its story slowly and carefully, nearly always opting for the plausible over the sensational. |
| Boxoffice MagazineShlomo SchwartzbergBuchbinder displays an original filmic eye, but mostly Whole New Thing is a few drafts short of an emotionally fulfillilng feature. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsThese knots are all tied by the end, but not memorably so. |
