"Alex Strangelove" is witty, compassionate and enjoyable throughout; a charming movie and in many respects an enlightened one. June 19, 2018 | Full Review…

Alex Strangelove ultimately serves as a funny-and occasionally filthy-commentary on heteronormativity and the work that goes into overcoming certain ingrained expectations about the trajectory of a life. June 14, 2018 | Full Review…

As a modern coming-of-age movie, one that's especially meant to keep the progressive values of teen Netflix on the home page for another week or so, it does have a fair amount of charm. June 9, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

It can't help but hit a lot of familiar beats. But its script feels personal, and less airbrushed than most in its recollection of the utter uncoolness of being a teenager. June 7, 2018 | Full Review…

It's hard to fault the bigger message here: that we all deserve the right to be true to who we are, even if it takes a few hard turns - and some collateral emotional damage - to get there. June 6, 2018 | Rating: B | Full Review…

I pined for more scenes of Alex and Elliott's chemistry, which to the credit of [Daniel] Doheny and [Antonio] Marziale, is palpable. I wish we got more of that movie. August 5, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

A touching film that hits familiar John Hughes-esque territory, but delivers a raunchy, comedic and heartwarming story of self-discovery. April 13, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It disappoints, however, with unfortunate blindspots and heavy-handed messaging, ultimately resembling a misguided 21st-century PSA. February 12, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

We've finally started to see high school movies center around LGBTQ+ characters. However, is it considered progress to now have our own ... lackluster ... teen comedies? October 30, 2018 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…
