Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Raw and unpredictable. It's also compelling.

fresh:
Flawed but compassionate study of kids struggling with grown-up issues without much adult supervison.

rotten:
... a film that never quite equals the sum of its many intriguing parts.

fresh:
The film careens from crisis to crisis. Yet each time it threatens to spin out of control, [director Michael] Cuesta demonstrates a firm hand that keeps us leaning in with interest.
– Hap Erstein,
Atlanta Journal-Constitution,

fresh:
The stories coexist without intersecting, and the film would benefit from a stronger narrative spine, but bringing together three such gifted young actors in a single film is a minor miracle.
