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.

New York Times

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

Rated: C+

Los Angeles Times

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.

Variety

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.

David Parkinson

Radio Times

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).

Rated: 3/5

Crush is a return to form. It’s a teen rom com filled to the brim with yearning, the way they should be.

All in all Crush offers a positive representation of LGBTQ+ youth even though it lacks substance

I LOVED this movie. It's fun and tender at the same time. I wish movies like this existed waaaaay back in time. Classical high school romance, but make it lesbian. Diversity is great and this movie knows how to beautifully capture that. Definetly a recommendation for everyone.

Phim hay tuyệt vời. Và phim này là phim đồng tính nữ người thật đầu tiên mà mình xem không dính dáng đến con trai và đó là điểm tuyệt vời ở phim này luôn. Phim dành cho lứa tuổi teen rất hợp, tình cảm🥰♥️

This movie is simple and cute, and it's so refreshing to see a simple, cute lesbian story. I loved the humor in this movie and I especially loved the tension chemistry between the lead characters. Overall a great watch, and a definite rewatch when I need something soft, funny, and comforting.
