Los Angeles Times

There’s not much new to this plot, but the filmmakers invest a lot of personal feeling and creative energy into their depiction of a rural community populated by the children of immigrants...

Richard Whittaker

Austin Chronicle

Coast is undeniably empathetic towards the inner lives of kids living in the bland nothingness of California’s Central Coast, but it’s also not got a lot new to add.

Rated: 2/5

Laura Potier

Outtake Mag

Coast doesn’t take the coming-of-age indie genre anywhere new... [but it] does present something fresh in its total lack of judgement for its characters and its validation of teenage emotions.

Rated: 3/5

Rincón de cine

Coast story is personal, one of those where we can see a little part of ourselves in those teenage years inside the main characters. [Full review in Spanish].

Rated: 3/5

Film Legacy

Coast captures small-town life so honestly that you care deeply what happens to the characters. That’s exactly what you want a movie to do.

Danielle Solzman

Solzy at the Movies

Coast is a different teen movie than typical studio teen movies but Fatima Ptacek--longtime Dora the Explorer voice--delivers a solid performance in this indie film.

Rated: 3/5
