Siddhant Adlakha Variety It sounds like a ferocious right wing fever dream, but the result is a meaningful comedy-drama about identity, and the confusion of burgeoning youth. Mar 24, 2025 Full Review Jacob Oller AV Club A refreshing, authentic comedy that’s talking to trans and cis kids alike in a language they’ll immediately recognize as their own. Rated: B- Mar 15, 2025 Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness ... McCarthy’s script takes a turn wherein the coming-of-age elements and the sex comedy elements combine with a deft sharpness to explore the concept of gender and gender identity. Rated: 4.5/5 Mar 29, 2025 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Film Obsessive She’s the He is a throwback to the best era of teen comedies, with a heart of gold and a mind in the gutter. Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Norman Gidney MUSE TV Against the zany backdrop of a lite teen comedy, McCarthy crafts a congenial farce that is far more effective in its message than it is in delivery. Rated: 6/10 Mar 15, 2025 Full Review Lisa Laman Culturess As She’s the He’s heart and soul, Misha Osherovich absolutely crushes their first film role. Mar 15, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
