Ben Turner The Pink Lens 09/01/2021
4/5
The film is barely 80 minutes long and with such a compact run-time, the film is tightly wound and concise. Go to Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media 03/27/2020
4/5
Violence, bullying in gay man's coming-of-age story. Go to Full Review John Serba Decider 03/11/2020
I Am Jonas is a mindful, astute portrait of a troubled man. Go to Full Review Julian Wood FILMINK (Australia) 03/04/2020
The broken Jonas is not an easy character to like and his self-loathing is in danger of alienating us as much as it does the characters he interacts with. That said, it is a committed and convincing portrait by [Felix] Maritaud. Go to Full Review Alistair Ryder Gay Essential 01/01/2019
Boys (Jonas) may be a TV movie, but it still suggests that its writer/director has a bright future ahead of him on the big screen. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 11/14/2018
3.5/5

PridePosterStudios 09/20/2023 Happy when I got to see what they were playing on the Game Boy. Glad they chose not to call the film Game Boy. See more David C 03/20/2022 horrible, terrible, ugly See more 02/02/2022 Such a well done movie. How I wish there were more talented filmmakers... See more 09/09/2020 I can't stop thinking about this film. A heartbreaking yet hopeful tale of a troubled young man, "looking for something that doesn't exist." A story of two high school boys in love and what happens internally to Jonas when tragedy occurs and ho perfw he has taken that pain and shame with him into adulthood. The ending is subtly beautiful. The performances are stunning especially from the two leads. See more 07/13/2020 Sad, definitely engages the viewer's emotions. Worth watching. See more 07/03/2020 Great coming of age film. Beautiful scenes, lighting and a compelling story See more Read all reviews
