Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter Sex, drugs and tedium. Sep 11, 2023 Full Review Ryan Lattanzio indieWire This promising debut, however wrought from such fair-weather providence with its creative team, has too shaggy a screenplay and seems distracted, like Alejandro, by its own impulses. Rated: C+ Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Alonso Duralde The Film Verdict Alejandro isn’t the kind of bad-boy who gradually reveals a dark side; he essentially carries a neon “STAY AWAY, I’M BAD NEWS” sign for the entire film. Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Tyler Doster AwardsWatch Pet Shop Days offers nothing of substance, only able to give 100 minutes of drugs, sex, and violence that amounts to nothing by the film’s end. Rated: D Mar 15, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Shoots itself in the foot with such an unappealing story. Rated: C Nov 25, 2023 Full Review Josh Parham Next Best Picture “Pet Shop Days” succeeds best when it fully embraces the chaos at its core. The crazed delirium is perfectly captured in the filmmaking, a grimy yet riveting exhibition that comes alive in every frame. Rated: 6/10 Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
