Natalia Winkelman New York Times 05/24/2022
The story’s greatest strength is the clever twist that awaits Paulie and Avery toward the end of their adventure, infusing a surprise science-fiction element into an otherwise standard coming-of-age exercise. Go to Full Review

Paulie Go! has plenty of room to show the easygoing friendship and even if it is a standard coming-of-age movie, there are plenty of charming and lovable moments. Go to Full Review

07/10/2022 A beautiful romp in the amazing lake regions of northern Minnesota. A well-written drama/comedy about a developing relationship between two young people from very different cultures. See more david h 07/03/2022 "Very cute film. Low budget film did incredible job. Storyline was well paced. Not very thrilled about the ending. Still worth watching. A bit like modern day Wargames movie. #Movie #pauliego #wargames" See more 06/18/2022 Wonderful story - great characters! You must see this! See more 06/14/2022 Movie Review: Pauli Go! IN A NUTSHELL: A young AI prodigy gets rejected from a world-renowned robotics lab and does what any rational teenager would do – steal a van and drive across the country to Northern Minnesota to track down the Professor who rejected him. The film is directed and co-written by Andrew Nackman. This is only his second feature film. The movie was based on a character he developed for the 2012 short film named "Paulie". Movie Review Mom GRADE: B THINGS I LIKED: Ethan Dizon is the young star in the movie. You might have seen him in Sony/Marvel's Spiderman: Homecoming or Avengers: Infinity War. He does a great job. Madison Wolfe is the co-star of the movie and she also does a good job. You might have seen her in the Will Ferrell/Zach Galifianakis comedy The Campaign. Her character has a YouTube channel where she teaches people how to fish. As a Youtuber, myself, I'm also interested in seeing how they're represented in movies. The film was made in Nevis and Park Rapids, Minnesota. We get to see some of the 10,000 lakes in the beautiful state. What a beautiful part of the country. There are some cute one-liners and other humorous moments. At about the halfway mark, the plot takes a surprising and insightful turn. NO SPOILERS! Filmed with a small budget, the movie has charm. The movie has enough satisfying resolution, even though not all of the storylines are finished at the end of the movie. THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: There are some bad acting moments. The two leads are young, so they have a lot of experience and learning to do, but they're off to a good start and show great promise. Some of the camera angles aren't as good as they could be, sacrificing background for close-ups. TIPS FOR PARENTS: Some profanity (spoken and written in subtitles) You see a buxom girl in a bathing suit. A teen drinks alcohol Talk of teenage pregnancy THEMES: Friendship Human connection and relationships Robotics Artificial intelligence Rejection & acceptance Education Take a chance Follow your heart Nature Bullies Fear Facing your problems Love and loss You can see the full review on my Movie Review Mom YouTube channel.

You will laugh out loud, shed a tear and wish it wasn't over at the end. Absolutely loved this one! See more 05/30/2022 Comedy of age comedy that the world needs right now.
