Teen artist Angie Chen does NOT like Liam--she just likes getting rides home from him after soccer practice. Okay, so he has great eyebrows, but he's with Sheryl, the Instagram princess of their Episcopalian private school. After Angie is blindsided by her parents' sudden divorce, Liam serves as a welcome distraction. However, when that distraction comes knocking on her window in the middle of the night, a secret hookup will set Angie on a journey of sexual awakenings, racial insecurities, and artistic expression as she comes to discover what she wants--and who she wants to be.

Makino finds a way to uplift the young women she writes without any cloying girlboss idealism, and that level of nuance is what these Texan teens deserve. Go to Full Review

A little bit teen sex romp, a little bit female friendship plug, a little bit Asian American immigrant story, Inbetween Girl has no shortage of things to say. It just needed to trim out the noise so we could hear them. Go to Full Review
Beatrice Loayza New York Times 05/03/2022
Though the dialogue is often hit-or-miss, this young adult drama doesn’t simply put a fresh spin on old tropes: It takes seriously the messiness of growing up, the hardest parts of which involve accepting life’s ambiguities. Go to Full Review

Aaron S 11/20/2023 It's a perfectly watchabale coming of age teen drama but it does very little to bring anything new or interesting to the genre. Some of its elements are wholesale ripped from better movies. If you've seen it all...you could do way worse than Inbetween Girl, but if you haven't, you could way better. See more Read all reviews
