After hitting emotional and financial rock bottom, two down-on-their-luck Gen Z best friends come up with a scheme to spend an entire year living "rent free" with the help of friends, family and strangers alike in a rapidly changing Austin.

[Rent Free] has heart as well as panache, much as we may want to shake some sense into its characters.

Andrés provides a wise, bittersweet response, delivering a character-driven keeper that's clear-eyed about these friends' shortcomings yet fiercely affectionate about how their mutual devotion deepens and evolves.

Shadows on the Wall

Sharp and funny, this comedy finds its humour in characters who are desperate to get on with their lives. The film has a superbly loose charm, spiralling through its narrative in a way that makes things feel enjoyably unpredictable.

Rated: 4/5

Metro Weekly (Washington, DC)

'Rent Free' charms with its comic tale of two broke, horny post-grads hustling to keep a roof over their heads.

Rated: 3/5

Frank J. Avella

Edge Media Network

Fernando Andrés' idiosyncratic and fascinating new indie feature "Rent Free" explores bisexuality and queer male friendship in such an authentic manner it may be breaking some ground in indie LGBTQ+ cinema.

Rated: B+

Graeme Guttmann

Screen Rant

At once cooly detached & surprisingly sentimental, Rent Free is a bitterly hilarious film and a startling portrait of young adulthood in 2024.

Rated: 4/5
