Critics Consensus

An uncommonly smart, empathetic, and well-acted coming of age story, Slash approaches oft-misunderstood characters and titillating themes with wit and grace.

Perhaps this is what adult movie-goers want to think about teenagers, but this is SO far from reality. Good enough, I suppose, if you are looking for something artsy.

It is worth a watch. An unconventional approach to the coming of age story, Slash is a relatively fun and awkward addition to the overcrowded genre.

Real world fanfic enthusiasts may appreciate the attention, but most could probably hatch a more involving tale in the time it takes to scratch "Kirk + Spock 4 Evr" into a wooden bench.

The nerd-sexy coming-of-age tale the Internet age so desperately needs.

An occasionally flat but charmingly empathetic film about the time-honored tradition of erotic fan fiction.

Rated: C+

Cinema Crazed

The film is touching in parts and a bit cringe-worthy in others, which are both good things here.

Rated: 4/5

Teens write porn fan fiction; sex and language.

I always hesitate to call a film "charming," as I feel it's a word that tends to leave fandom-related audiences cringing and running away in search of something with more explosions, but Slash is just that.
