The idea here isn't to titillate with tawdry teen hormones, but to offer an outlet for all that mental distress young people take on while trying to find their place in the world.

When it comes to constructive gay-themed material aimed at teens, perhaps half a loaf remains better than none.

Globe and Mail

As a manifesto for tolerance and a contribution to greater social and gender harmony, this is an exercise all to the good. As a film, however, it's something of a snooze.

Rated: 2/4

It's impossible to not admire a film that tells the truth and has some fun with it.

A gentle, positive high-school drama about how little courage it actually takes to break through adolescent panicky silence and embrace everyone's differences.

While the lead performances are pretty amateurish, the film benefits from a terrific supporting cast. Current high school students will likely find the film relatable and enjoyable.

Rated: C+

Among the worst written dialogue and direction I've experienced. The actors survive it somewhow. NOT RECOMMENDED.

It felt a bit like, "sex education" plot episode? A bit strange to see 20 something play high schoolers. I watched it as I read the book and I wanted to see what they did with it in film format. All in all it was enjoyable, fun with a good message.

I think this kind of plot and idea is great, but I just feel like it's not executed in the right way. Still good though.

Very moving experience. The cast gave fresh and believable performances, especially Cameron Deane Stewart and Justin Deeley. Deeley's performance, especially, moving between sweetness and fear, impacted me. I also like the fact that not everything was tied up in a neat little bundle at the end, and yet, life goes on.

A movie spotlighting LGBTQ teens using the R-word multiple times. It’s a shame.

'Geography Club' é um típico filme clichê que se passa no colegial onde adultos interpretam papel de adolescentes. Talvez a única diferença aqui seja o fato do personagem principal ser gay, fora isso, o filme segue na mesma ou talvez abaixo da linha de tantos outros por aí. Dividido por acontecimentos retratados de forma oca, o filme abusa do convencial para criar círculos e mais círculos que logo na primeira parte já revela a ideia central, o que nos faz perder o interesse pelo resto do longa. Se você gosta de 'Riverdale', certamente será atraído por esse filme, que faz caricatura dos personagem e espera o público desvendar as situações que são em sua maioria, forçadas para ter ao menos um ponto de virada. O roteiro acaba se esquecendo das histórias secundárias, fazendo com que muitos personagens em potencial sejam pouco explorados, parecendo apenas terem sido encaixados para fazer volume. Fora isso, assistir esse filme vale muito a pena, por mais que pareça péssimo - e de fato é, a experiência pode enriquecer e aguçar seus sentidos quando o assunto for bons filmes com temática gay, o que certamente esse não é um deles.
