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

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. Go to Full Review Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times 12/15/2016

An occasionally flat but charmingly empathetic film about the time-honored tradition of erotic fan fiction. Go to Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed 04/19/2020
4/5
The film is touching in parts and a bit cringe-worthy in others, which are both good things here. Go to Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media 02/18/2020
3/5
Teens write porn fan fiction; sex and language. Go to Full Review Paul Freitag-Fey Daily Grindhouse 08/02/2019
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Bradley J @RT44951549 04/13/2023 Great writing, original story, great acting, definitely a must see. Very smart and entertaining. See more 07/08/2018 Some good scenes and plot twists, but hard to recommend. See more 06/02/2017 A cool little movie. See more 01/21/2017 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. See more 01/19/2017 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. See more 01/18/2017 something crazy could have happened at the end but i couldnt finish this, felt like a disney channel movie See more Read all reviews
