Despite the hiccups, She’s the He is reliably delightful. Go to Full Review Siddhant Adlakha Variety Mar 24
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. Go to Full Review Jacob Oller AV Club Mar 15

A refreshing, authentic comedy that’s talking to trans and cis kids alike in a language they’ll immediately recognize as their own. Go to Full Review Amelia Harvey Movies We Texted About Nov 19
While people will come to She’s the He for the high school comedy, they will find themselves moved by the human story of two teenagers trying to find themselves. Go to Full Review Alistair Ryder Vague Visages Nov 11
She’s the He is a successful attempt at not just carving out a space for LGBTQ identity amidst the overbearingly heterosexual narrative tropes, but also bending those tropes so they can fit into a tale of trans awakening, not the other way round. Go to Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming Oct 27
4/5
Amongst all the innuendo, gross-out gags, and a satirical depiction of transgender fearmongering that’s fittingly accompanied by the camp anthem Time Warp, McCarthy delivers a tremendously touching coming-of-age comedy about friendship and identity. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
