Chicago Reader

It boasts both a sophisticated understanding of racial politics and a finely attuned ear to the language and behavior of male camaraderie, but it never succumbs to sensationalism and overt moralizing.

Jon Frosch

The Hollywood Reporter

None of the three main characters come alive as particularly rich or compelling either in their machismo-fueled banter or their confessional moments, and the dynamics of jealousy and affection between them register mostly as half-baked.

One Room With A View

There's humour and strong identity within each character, but the plot does little to enthral.

Rated: 2/5

UR Chicago Magazine

The film skillfully blends gritty cinema and faux documentary interviews with the film's very skilled three leads.

Consequence

Cronies is funny and moving in equal doses, a humane film about a handful of guys just trying to get by on the hands they've been dealt by life.

Rated: B

While ultimately a little underdeveloped, "Cronies" is still nevertheless an auspicious debut with characters we often don't see within this milieu, containing human texture than the average film set in the in or around the hood.
