A bitingly funny coming-of-age story of a teenage cartoonist who rejects the comforts of his suburban life in a misguided quest for soul.

Critics Consensus

It won't be for all tastes, but Funny Pages deserves credit for telling a coming-of-age story that leans heavier on cringe comedy than nostalgia.

Funny Pages understands that being truly committed to comics, the lowest form in all the arts (except for performance poetry, of course), is an express ticket to a life of social misery and alienation.

What an auspicious debut for Kline and what a fine showcase for all other parties.

5/5

Zolghadri carries the film with the kind of self assured nonchalance rarely seen on screen. His character’s wide-eyed optimism, although clearly misguided, is both infectious and genuinely awe-inspiring.

Funny Pages is a great exercise in discovering your own style & rhythm that runs with a fun sense of chaos and bite, and now that Owen Kline’s cat is out of the bag everyone is going to want to see what happens in the next issue.

4/5

Owen Kline’s directorial debut is grimy, weird, and most importantly subversive.

2.5/5

The grittiness of Sean Price Williams’ cinematography and atmosphere carries Owen Kline’s Funny Pages, but the rest falters – a coming-of-age feature lacking focus, coherence, and laughter.

Very original, very different. Goes into directions one never expects. It’s not an easy, pleasant movie but that’s part of what makes it great: its courage to be real and honest

I wanted to call BS on nepotism and being the son of Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates, but, alas, Owen Kline -- GODDAMN, I SAY GODDAMN! Impressive directorial debut from someone born with at least 2 silver spoons in his beautiful mouth.

Last night I checked this out, knowing nothing about it beyond that the poster stood out. I was just expecting an average comedy. Turns out it's exactly the kind of mind-melted neo-slacker degeneracy that I live for. Sweaty acne-riddled coming-of-age movies about basement-dwelling weirdos like this usually don't exist. Crumbcore that comes complete with scenes you can smell.
