This movie doesn't reinvent the teen movie wheel, but it's a lovely way to spend some time.

Cinema Crazed

A mostly unpleasant and surface level teen coming of age film that doesn't re-invent the wheel...

Common Sense Media

Stale, predictable teen drama has drugs, sex, cursing.

Rated: 2/5

Battle Royale With Cheese

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.

It challenges neither expectations, nor cinematic conventions as it serves up its candy-sweet message in a non-threatening way that takes no chances.

Rated: 2/5

Crooked Marquee

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.

Rated: C

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

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

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.
