A movie with anti-establishment anti-social quicksilver coursing through its veins, but at its heart it is a sweet love story, one of the sweetest in recent memory.

Rated: 3.5/4

“Dinner in America” delivers on surprise and explosiveness, but much of its offensive language, both racist and homophobic, feels gratuitous in a film that might have otherwise landed as an offbeat love story.

Dinner in America is the rare film that doesn’t sand down its subject: punk rock.

Simultaneously aggressive and tender, an adorable little punk rock coming of age comedy. Consistently been one of my top recommends since catching it back at Sundance 2020. Finally getting the attention it deserves

Definitely a must-see! This movie has something for everyone, it’s absolutely hilarious, surprisingly heartfelt, and totally punk rock. Kyle Gallner and Emily Skeggs have incredible chemistry and their performances are over the top while still remaining believable. Stellar supporting cast as well, this is an 11/10 crowd pleaser.

Good acting in an original movie that's strange and rather unpleasant about two misfits falling in love.

As a mother to an autistic child, who has such intense and captivating personality, I often wonder what the future holds. He's still young, but this boy is punk AF. Watching Patty blossom into her true self once expectations and restraints were removed was LEGIT! The movie starts a smidge slow but it blossoms into something beautiful. Simon's anger at the hypocrisy all around him is palpable. He wants nothing but cold hard truth, and I love it. Though he presents with a no F's given attitude, he clearly feels a deep call to speak up for those who he deems as worthy of respect. Patty, in all her glory, gains his respect and admiration by being her most eclectic and raw self. And let's face it, Psyops song lyrics speak truth.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
