Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times This lyrical and ethereal film mixes the stark style of a crime story into a love story, capturing the highs, lows and the deepest, darkest recesses of grungy, stoned teenage life Mar 6, 2017 Full Review Christy Lemire RogerEbert.com Joris-Peyrafitte shows confidence and talent beyond his years, with an artful eye for imagery and a truthful ear for dialogue. Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 24, 2017 Full Review A.A. Dowd AV Club Without any period-specific music to help establish a sense of time and place-a real cultural backdrop-even the setting remains a little fuzzy. Rated: C+ Feb 23, 2017 Full Review Mimi Wong Mediaversity Reviews It's exciting to see how easily this younger generation is able to dismantle heteronormativity. Rated: B Sep 19, 2020 Full Review Amie Simon Three Imaginary Girls The beautiful thing about As You Are is the way it mashes up a police investigation with a solidly authentic feeling coming-of-age story set in the '90s. Mar 2, 2019 Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy Writer and director Miles Joris-Peyrafittinto has so much to be proud of with his debut feature-length film. Aug 6, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Lenka B This movie is a masterpiece. Every little detail. The way they looked at each other. This was a Rollercoaster of emotions. I loved it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review 3 This is the best movie I've ever watched. Absolutely changed me as a person and left me emotionally disconnected for weeks. This movie brings some sort of comfort. This is the movie i immediately think of when someone asks for movie recommendations. Watch this movie. You will not regret it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/28/23 Full Review Mr. Awesome M Once again Amandla Stenberg stands out in a film that truly resonates with me. Teenage years are SO confusing. It is tragic that you don't get to go through it more than once. This story was heartbreaking while being funny and realistic and genuine all at once. One cannot help but reflect back on your own teen years as you watch (if you're past your teens when you watch it). I honestly felt each character. Even the Dad. Cinematography, pacing, editing, .... I really will never forget this film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/13/23 Full Review Theodore A This is my favorite movie ever made. I can't express enough how much I adore this movie🫶 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/23 Full Review Dani AMAZING acting was 10/10 it's a an art piece of an movie this movie made me cry so much and the ending is still sticking with me and I watched it march of last year Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Really good cinematography.
