A balmy introduction to adult feelings of desire and belonging.

Guardian

Urzendowsky is very good as part of a young and vivid cast and the extended dreamy scenes with nothing much happening - or perhaps everything happening - are well managed.

Rated: 3/5

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Cocoon is a very artistic and pretty to look at queer coming-of-age story.

Rated: 8/10

Film Inquiry

The coming-of-age tale presented by Cocoon is not an idealized one that bears no resemblance to real life, but one that feels authentic in its pain and exhilaration.

Film Threat

This is a tender and softly affecting addition to the crowded coming-of-age genre.

Rated: 8/10

There is something badly wrong with a system that gives 100% critical approval to a film that most of the critics agree is nothing special, if better than average for the genre. With no coherent dramatic development, no plot, no particular message or insight, I can't help wondering that had the heroine been heterosexual, this film would've been lucky to scrape 50%.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
