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.

Punk rebellion reigns here, and you better be prepared for some quite nasty scenes.

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.

Too much offensive humor for my taste. Other than that, watching her seem so juvenile in comparison to him reminded me of how I felt with many of my exes. However, I'm ace so I don't relate to that certain aspect of her. See you guys in therapy! :)
