3/5

Well-made and entertaining teenage idealism that does a sturdy job at depicting the modern experience of a sexual awakening. Teen audiences will lap this up, but for those well-versed in the coming-of-age genre, this is fairly tepid fayre.

C-plus

Drama about a gay Chinese-Canadian teen’s coming out is sincere and generous-spirited but suffers from predictable rhythms of an earnest TV drama.

3.5/5

Golden Delicious, the feature film debut from director Jason Karman and screenwriter Gorrman Lee, doesn’t do much to shake up the [coming out film] formula, though it has enough charm and emotion to satisfy.

4/5

Throughout the film, director Jason Karman maintains a wonderfully light touch, and the gifted, fresh-faced cast members are easy to root for.

Much messier and more like real life than the average coming-of-age film.
