Courtney Howard Variety 10/19/2018
Its heart is in the right place when it comes to many of the boldly-portrayed sentiments, but it plays like a hokey after-school special rather than an alarming wake-up call. Go to Full Review
Eric D. Bernasek Film Inquiry 11/11/2018
Reach is a thoroughly teen movie - its maturity and proficiency are outstripped by its desire and ambition. Go to Full Review
Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media 10/26/2018
2/5
Uneven drama about bullying, suicide can be preachy. Go to Full Review
Bobby LePire Film Threat 10/19/2018
B+
Coupled with a strong, charismatic cast and intelligent dialogue, this is a relatively original coming-of-age story. Go to Full Review
Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 06/11/2018
2/5
It suffers from its strictly by-the-book approach and heavily mannered performances (especially from Fiore) which mean we're constantly aware that we're watching something artificial. Go to Full Review

Louie B 10/24/2024 Been a long time since I cried at a movie. See more 03/24/2020 They had great material, great actors, potential for story, possibility to develop plot, and everything. But they shit! They could have created a great story among the main actors. They didn't have to kill the guy. They could have explained why the two stopped being best friends. Because the film did not explain, and if it showed what it was, it was worse than shit. Something dramatic could have happened. It is not the effects they put on the scenes that make something dramatic, but the story itself. What was missing a LOT. The dance could have twists, loves being discovered, couples formed, etc ... Did not explain the case of the nick with the boy who picked him up at home in the beginning ... very weak. To earn a zero score you need to improve a lot. See more 01/06/2019 I liked it. Calm, kind of low key, then a really stunning twist. See more Read all reviews
