Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter Despite the hiccups, She’s the He is reliably delightful. Apr 7, 2025 Full Review 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 Andrew Murray The Upcoming 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. Rated: 4/5 Oct 27, 2025 Full Review Liselotte Vanophem Geek Vibes Nation a sharp, funny, and tender exploration of identity, self-expression, and gender in society Rated: 7.5/10 Oct 21, 2025 Full Review MD Russell MovieJawn She’s the He is made by, and for, trans people. It takes time to celebrate the queer and the silly, in a time where we so desperately need it. It’s a perfectly manicured middle finger to every transphobe who thinks we shouldn’t be here, period.
