"MDMA"... doesn't fully communicate the context of Angie's experience priors to the film, keeping us removed from the character and the movie as a whole. Sep 12, 2018 | Full Review…

Although MDMA goes to some dark places and features its share of ugly scenes, it's ultimately a story of hope and redemption. Sep 12, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

[Wang's] screenplay is a roiling yet random stew of melodramatic elements all too calculated to wring the most extreme emotional reaction from the viewer. Sep 14, 2018 | Full Review…

Earnest, but awkwardly written and produced, "MDMA" is an R-rated after-school special with its heart in the right place. Sep 14, 2018 | Rating: 4/10 | Full Review…
