This movie doesn't reinvent the teen movie wheel, but it's a lovely way to spend some time. Go to Full Review
Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 02/14/2021
A mostly unpleasant and surface level teen coming of age film that doesn't re-invent the wheel... Go to Full Review

Stale, predictable teen drama has drugs, sex, cursing. Go to Full Review

My Summer as a Goth may know what kind of movie it is and who the audience are, but it feels like a shade of the much better movies that it mimics. Go to Full Review

2/5
It challenges neither expectations, nor cinematic conventions as it serves up its candy-sweet message in a non-threatening way that takes no chances. Go to Full Review

Johnson-Medinger demonstrates a Disney Channel-level sense of Goth culture in this cloying coming-of-age comedy about a teen girl's toxic romance with her corpse-painted neighbor. Go to Full Review

Soysauce A @Soysaucearts Jan 1 Terrible Moive flat acting and surface level plot I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT VICTOR IS HOT AND MANIPULATIVE 10/10 See more J M Aug 31 Fun for someone who lives in Portland and likes goth music. The soundtrack and score is really elevated. Don't go in expecting a big budget or high drama and you'll be entertained. See more Holly W May 29 Peak writing, not cringey AT ALL. Super realistic writing, this litterally happened to me like last week See more Desolate E Apr 13 I like it, it’s very quirky and unique in its own way, I do think it’s definitely something that’s in certain taste. If you like weird clichés this may be for you! Things that could be changed is deep more magnetic dialogue however it’s fun as is See more 03/18/2022 This is a fun teen-level film that is not heavy into swearing, drugs, date rape or other hideous excuses for screenplays. This is a sweet story about a 16-year-old Oregonian girl looking for a closer family and some manner of a future. All I will add is you're not eating time if you choose to see this tale, one of the best coming-of-age stories I've encountered. It's far deeper than you think. See more 12/09/2020 A thoughtful examination of a young girl's coming of age in the world of goth. See more Read all reviews
