This is a movie about love and how incomprehensible and engulfing it can be before you learn to tame the monster.

"The Man With the Iron Fists" being a fairly satisfying slab of cinematic mayhem, particularly if seen in under conditions like the ones I describe from my younger days.

Rated: 3/5

Tonally, the film swings between whispery romance and ominous horror as it explores the dark side of love and lust ...

There's a wise (and frightening) movie about young love in Jack and Diane, but Bradley Rust Gray didn't make it.

Jack and Diane is the worst kind of coming-of-age film; the kind that lacks any particular message or purpose and tries to merely rely on shock value to retain audience attention.

Good direction is hobbled by inexplicable flashes of horror, which add nothing to the story and stick out like clumsy art-movie affectations.

Lacks the emotion that is possibly intended and makes little sense without inference and metaphors in play.

I can't tell if it is because my lesbian movie standards are low or because the whole cast is hot, but I loved this movie.

This is one of those Movies that has some decent Actors in it but you really wonder how or why it was even made. Nothing flows or makes sense as to why things are happening and the whole werewolf sub story that goes no where and seems to just be imaginary doesn't add anything. I only watched it to see Juno Temple and Riley Keough. But really its a waste of time.

everyone is making a big deal about the creature / monster / werewolf thing and that it was an irrelevant thing to add to the story, which apparently itself was fine besides the lack of energy and emotion. I liked the soundtrack. I loved the characters and the acting.I understood the characters and their connection, reminding me of my own first love. I guess thats biased considering I related to jack but the acting seemed so natural on keoughs part. The artsy style of the lighting was subtle and not overly used, although I think it could have still had a bit more character to the movie as a whole. I'll admit that at points it all seemed plain, lazily smashed together to try to create something more marvelous than it was, and vague and simple bit still original in a sense that when do you ever see a lesbian horror romance that isn't completely made my a guy sexualizing every second ? The romance felt real and personal. Lmao ok bye I really liked it but I have to agree, it needed just something more.
