Christopher Lloyd The Film Yap A quirky and sensitive coming-of-age tale about a teen girl struggling to adapt to life in a new town -- with the added pressure of seeing lights and colors where no one else does. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Nick Bythrow Screen Rant Magnetosphere is a coming-of-age story boasting creative charm thanks to an endearing premise, fantastic performances, and memorable messages. Rated: 8/10 Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Jim Laczkowski Director's Club Nicola Rose uses Maggie's unique perception as a metaphor for the teenage experience of feeling like an outsider. Even if you don't share the condition, you'll be able to connect to her particular struggle and the trepidation she experiences among peers. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 27, 2025 Full Review Stephanie Malone Morbidly Beautiful This heartfelt tale about the beauty of what makes us different is a magical coming-of-age film for misfits of all ages. It’s a love letter to those who see the world differently; a powerful, affirming story for all audiences. Rated: 4/5 Jul 26, 2025 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …Magnetosphere is firmly in the tradition of films well worth celebrating like the Oscar-winning CODA or Cha Cha Slide, taking time to involve us in warm family dynamics and educating us about our differences, rather than seeking to demonise the young... Rated: 4/5 Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) Overall had a nice feel about it. I enjoyed it. It's cute Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Ab L In this thoughtful, provoking and funny movie, you "see" the world through technicolor glasses. The emotional, dramatic moments are balanced by some great, occasionally slightly dark, comedy. A strong cast, performing a strong story, given character-centered direction all make a relatively unknown condition very relatable. Teen angst, family dynamics, and neighborhood hijinks are a worthy combination. Break out the popcorn and prepare to have a great movie night. (Buy extra popcorn; you'll want to watch it again.) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/14/25 Full Review Audience Member "Magnetosphere is a warm, funny, and visually creative reminder that the things that make us different are often the things that make us shine. If you’ve ever felt like the world was tuned to a frequency only you could hear, this movie will feel like home." Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Charlie H At it's core, Magnetosphere is a sweet coming-of-age film. But there are so many layers that it's easy to relate to Maggie, the main character. The family tending, the first big crush, the "best" friend, the mean girls, the caring teacher, and yes, the infuriatingly loveable sibling... it's all there. What truly sets this apart, though, is Maggie's experience of synesthesia, a rare and fascinating condition that allows her to experience sounds as colors and textures. The film doesn't portray this as a burden, though; rather, it's presented with wonder and empathy. The audience is warmly welcomed into Maggie's unique perspective. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Grant H An excellent, uplifting film about coming of age, neurodiversity, family, and first love. The casting is excellent, with quirky, authentic characters. I loved seeing the world through Maggie's eyes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review Lea P I watched this gem at an NYC screening and absolutely loved it! It was heartfelt, funny, heartwarming, and shedding a few tears here and there. No worries... happy tears! Everything I love about going to the movies. It left me feeling happier than when I entered the theater, something I aspire to do myself with my films, so that's a huge success for me! I love a good coming-of-age film and this one really warmed my heart. I can definitely recommend it! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/11/25 Full Review Will H I was at a NYC screening and I loved this coming of age film. Anyone who grew up feeling different and can celebrate life's eccentricities --- this movie is for you. I left with a smile on my face! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/25 Full Review Read all reviews
