The director and co-writer Ishmael Chawla never make their characters venal.

Johnson provides them with plenty of challenges and reasons to question their values, priorities and goals.

Slant Magazine

There's something uniquely irritating about the kind of too-serious-for-its-own-good alternative-lifestyle drama subheading that Chris Mason Johnson's The New Twenty neatly falls under.

Rated: 1/4

Writer/director Chris Mason Johnson is a sharp observer of urban life, and his story moves along so briskly that you won't spend much time considering the fact that it should have been set in 1999

Rated: 3.5/5

Co-writer/director Chris Mason Johnson's amateur debut effort could be credited with creating a new genre of pretentious triteness tailored to define of the pop slang word "Redonkulous."

Rated: D

NYC Movie Guru

Has interesting characters and a terrific cast, but feels somewhat contrived, bland and lacking an authentic emotional resonance.

Rated: 5.85/10

Excellent first feature by Indie Spirit Nominee, Chris Mason Johnson. Real and moving story about friends in NYC, 10 yrs. after graduating. Great performances (Tom Sadowsky from Wild and News Room) and beautiful cinematography. Well worth a view!
