Danny Leigh Financial Times 01/06/2021
4/5
A film that resembles the American Pie franchise as reimagined by conceptual artist Matthew Barney. Go to Full Review

Very individual work, as creepy as a ghost story. Go to Full Review

"Ham on Rye" exists behind glass, but it isn't cutely coy. There's something angry about it and hard to parse. Go to Full Review
William Stottor Loud and Clear Reviews 07/11/2024
3.5/5
Ham on Rye takes a genre as old as time and adds a new and unique direction to it, marking director Tyler Taormina as one to watch. Go to Full Review
Morris Yang In Review Online 06/05/2021
[For] Ham on Rye ... narrative is deliberately sidelined from the get-go, abstracted in order to focus on an adolescent milieu at once brazenly generic and poignantly specific. Go to Full Review
Shikhar Verma High on Films 04/16/2021
3.5/5
Seamlessly weaving a satire on intergenerational high school comedies and suburban rules, Taormina's film is about one fateful day in the life of teenagers in a small community. Go to Full Review

Mark D 09/04/2023 Wait! What? I just knew the Rotten Tomato critics would rate this close to 100%! It's just a series of pointless and disconnected vignettes. The film goes nowhere, but not in a hurry. It's so slow paced it makes you want to scream! Nothing to see here! Watch it only if you have an hour and a half to kill. A bit like watching paint dry. Although I suspect that would be more interesting than watching this film to its conclusion. See more Nelson Ivn A 09/23/2022 The worst movie I've ever seen in my life, and I'm not even joking. It may have merit because the look and feel are well achieved, but the story is slooooooow. There were indeed better ways to portray this coming-of-age message. It's funny how the "Top Critics" jumped through hoops and did amazing somersaults to rate this movie positively. Just look at the words they used and how they used them. They picked one specific film trait and embellished it with boogie words and extensive descriptions. Don't waste your time. See more dave d 08/18/2021 A mostly dialogue-free bore that could have been made by just about any film student and virtually nobody would notice. This is junk disguised as art. At 85 minutes, if felt like 4 hours!! A colossal slog with zero payoff. I haven't seen a movie this bad in a VERY long time! Final Score: 0/10 See more 11/05/2020 What is this crazy movie. It's unlike anything I've seen before in the best way See more Read all reviews
