[Sydney] Freeland is clearly having fun behind the camera, but broad and superficial performances mean the fun doesn't always translate. Go to Full Review

As right-minded and good-hearted as the movie is, it can't steer clear of certain clichs. Go to Full Review

Murray is fantastic in this and the film is a reminder that she should be a much bigger star. Go to Full Review

It's a little predictable, but the interplay among all of the characters is good enough that you're able to excuse it. Go to Full Review

It's life-affirming to watch a trans woman direct a movie about whatever the hell she wants. Go to Full Review

Jaz K 11/28/2023 NOT a 92. An excersize in stupid. Five minutes into this mess I gave it a 35. See more 05/11/2022 It's A Stupid Film With A Dopey Dorky Premise. Was Neither Here Nor There For Me. I Didn't Find Much Buy-In Mostly Because The Depiction Of Characters Whom Were Meant To Be Near Impoverished & Struggling Was A Bit Off; They Seemed Well-Dressed, Covered In Make-Up & Not Looking Like Ppl Living On A Day-To-Day Basis. I Didn't Find It One Bit Believable & My Suspension Of Disbelief Didn't Kick In. See more Primo 1 01/06/2022 Did I just watched a Nickelodeon movie? A little tooo light hearted for my taste and perhaps my age. I was attracted by the idea of a dark comedy, the stealing of cargo from trains by high school teens, the story unfolded with all the coming of age clichés, sacrificing realism and a lot of suspension of disbelief. The end result was unsurprising, very corny and mindlessly sweet, enough to give you a serious tooth decay. See more 01/01/2019 Dieibra & Laney has that rare quality of being both a lighthearted and well-made movie. Excellent cast (the parents relationship is my favorite), overall fun, entertaining with a touch of coming-of-age drama. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes indies but in the mood for something less heavy-hearted. See more Cameron M 01/27/2018 After a decent premise with amusing humor and a good cast Deidra & Laney's final third is derailed by unwarranted character changes and a morally flawed outcome. See more 04/01/2017 A pretty forgettable movie that really has nothing that stands out to it, good or bad. Just not much to it. See more Read all reviews
