Morgan is a sheltered 17-year-old, struggling to define who she is in order to write her college entrance essay. When a crisis provides her the rare opportunity to spend time with her significantly older half-siblings, she hopes they'll be able to shed some light on what it means to be an adult, only to be disappointed when she discovers they're all faking it.

3/4
Josh isn’t the only one wrestling with problems, as these tightknit sibs’ secrets bubble to the fore. Be prepared to see elements of yourself — and perhaps your own family — while watching this charmer. Go to Full Review Cortlyn Kelly RogerEbert.com Oct 27
Although the film falters on multiple technical elements, I still found myself giggling at its oddities and connecting with the representation of siblings who essentially grew up with different parents due to a significant age gap. Go to Full Review Aaron Neuwirth We Live Entertainment Oct 24
Adult Children does a wonderful job of filling in what’s needed thanks to the actors’ capabilities, their chemistry, and some filmmaking choices that enhance both the comedy and drama throughout. Go to Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat Aug 20
10/10
This is a must-watch for fans of coming-of-age tales, dysfunctional family comedies, and engaging dramas. It literally has something for everyone. Go to Full Review Allan Hunter Screen International Jul 17
Newey’s fondness for montage sequences does lend the film a slightly glib quality, but he keeps a clear view of these tangled relationships. He also covers a fair amount of territory in a sweet-natured tale that does not overstay its welcome. Go to Full Review Megan McLachlan The Contending Jun 21
Adult Children is a whip-smart dramedy with a great cast. [...] A showcase for all of these wonderful character actors who’ve made careers out of their outstanding supporting work. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
