Critic Reviews for As You Are

All Critics (22) | Top Critics (10) | Fresh (15) | Rotten (7)

This lyrical and ethereal film mixes the stark style of a crime story into a love story, capturing the highs, lows and the deepest, darkest recesses of grungy, stoned teenage life

Katie Walsh
Los Angeles Times
Joris-Peyrafitte shows confidence and talent beyond his years, with an artful eye for imagery and a truthful ear for dialogue.

Christy Lemire

Without any period-specific music to help establish a sense of time and place-a real cultural backdrop-even the setting remains a little fuzzy.

A.A. Dowd
AV Club
Much of the movie, from its attempts to capture the confusing exhilaration of youthful experience to its predictable progressive character dynamics, is labored.

Glenn Kenny
New York Times
The setup is common enough, but though you can check off the usual ingredients in what follows - sex, drugs, a glance at Kurt Cobain - this is the furthest thing from a social-issue teen drama.

Ella Taylor
NPR
The film is, above all, a striking and affecting expression of the desire, repression, and violence.

Henry Stewart
Slant Magazine
It's exciting to see how easily this younger generation is able to dismantle heteronormativity.

The beautiful thing about As You Are is the way it mashes up a police investigation with a solidly authentic feeling coming-of-age story set in the '90s.

Amie Simon
Three Imaginary Girls
Writer and director Miles Joris-Peyrafittinto has so much to be proud of with his debut feature-length film.

Morgan Rojas
Cinemacy
As You Are provides a thoroughly engrossing cinematic meditation on friendship and love, all wrapped up in the guise of a police procedural.

Christopher Llewellyn Reed
Hammer to Nail
Altogether lacking the magic of cinema.

Charles Mudede
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Ultimately, what is most galling about As You Are is its feeling of remoteness even as it aspires to be intimate.
