4/5

The film quickly morphs from a haze of cheap teen thrills into much more meaningful drama: a gutsy coming-of-age story that signals the arrival of a compelling new voice in queer Australian cinema.

3/5

Performances are raw and resonant. The young actors bring a natural energy to their roles, including a terrific sense of physicality.

This gay-themed Aussie coming of age drama goes straight to the top of the class.

The right stylistic touches and a strong central performance render the familiar both affecting and lingering here.

Teenage kicks is a emotional banger of a movie. When a struggling teen loses his brother, his search for love and acceptance gets wild.

Jan 8, 2021

Competently directed and acted, but the screenplay is a trashy, vacuous and generic excuse to shot a series of cringeworthy sex scenes. Do yourself a favor and watch something else.
