"Handsome Devil" studies formulaic coming-of-age movies a little too closely.

The story is programmatic and the indie stylings feel tired but Handsome Devil is a winning, enjoyable call for individuality.

The sweetness, poignancy and breezy humor of this Emerald Isle bildungsroman also make it pretty darn impossible to resist.

Although the film can feel a bit been-there-seen-that, this earnest, well-drawn tale ultimately proves distinct and winning enough to warrant a look.

Butler tells Ned's story with a laconic sense of humour (O'Shea has a constantly bemused expression) and the positive messaging comes across loud and clear.

Sep 12, 2017"Handsome Devil" is a sweet and charming bildungsroman for the LGBT set, with more than competent production. You may smile, if you allow yourself to do so.Christian C Super Reviewer

Jul 10, 2017Whilst you can easily write this off an Irish version of Dead's Poet Society, it is so much more than that. With character depth and a topic that provides a few twists, this is one of the better coming of age dramas in a while.Ian W Super Reviewer

May 04, 2017Handsome Devil is a mixed bag in all aspects. The acting ranges from stellar to mediocre, the gags are hit & miss, and the moments are either stellar or impactless.Sean T Super Reviewer
