Critics Consensus

Some of the writing is stilted and the execution is occasionally uneven, but Crush's central love story is easy to fall for.

It evidently cant decide whether the film should be sincere as its endearing leads play it or preposterous

The movie’s aggressive hipness can be a turnoff at times. But once it settles down into a more typical coming-of-age story, “Crush” becomes disarmingly sweet and relatable.

What’s jarring in Crush is the absence of some requisite dose of youthful mischief, a sense of stakes and perhaps even a lightly scandalous touch.

Crush has fully-fleshed out characters who are queer, but are also so much more... They’re trying to realise their dreams. All this is wrapped into one neat, cute, and funny story that will leave you feeling optimistic about the world we live in.

4/5

While Crush at least avoids one or two clichés, in its leap of faith — a little pun since the primary characters take part in a track team — the film does run into other obstacles and takes some falls, albeit not hard-hitting ones.

3/5

Blanchard makes such a winning loser that it's easy to identify with her woes, not least the boundary-trampling frankness of her single mother (a scene-stealing Megan Mulally).

The cutest film and also some of the best lesbian representation i've seen on screen. Most characters are people of color, and are fluid across the gender and sexuality spectrum.

I know I am not the demographic viewer this movie is intended, but I absolutely love this film. The movie is so sincere and presented to us with an 80s touch with a modern day story.

Refreshing love story. It seems to be a low budget movie; however, it is much better than most of mainstream romantic comedy movies.
