This movie was raw in the sense it was stripped down. It wasn't your typical romance or drama plot. So the pave is a little bit slower, but it's a really good movie.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Stupid, divisive, and simply 90 minutes of REEEE!!! about election night. Ridiculous premise and so much oversensitive rambling, its hard to take the movie seriously at all.

Description sounded really interesting. But.... Makes no sense. Lots of whining in a Lyft. Couldn't watch past that.

Not every directorial choice or camera movement works, but this indie drama shines in the silences.

TheWrap

The dialogue is best when it focuses on issues you can actually take seriously, but the couple's talk about dreams deferred is too knee-jerk to warrant sympathy.

Cary Darling

Houston Chronicle

Qasim Basir's melancholic mood piece, "A Boy. A Girl. A Dream.," certainly has its pretensions...But to get caught up in its impressive stylishness is to miss the larger point of finding strength through human connection.

Rated: 3.5/5

Shadows on the Wall

The understated performances gurgle with powerful emotions. Hardwick and Good are terrific as people trying be cool to a stranger, but failing to conceal their underlying feelings.
