John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter 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. Nov 19, 2018 Full Review Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times The nerd-sexy coming-of-age tale the Internet age so desperately needs. Dec 15, 2016 Full Review David Ehrlich indieWire An occasionally flat but charmingly empathetic film about the time-honored tradition of erotic fan fiction. Rated: C+ Dec 9, 2016 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed The film is touching in parts and a bit cringe-worthy in others, which are both good things here. Rated: 4/5 Apr 19, 2020 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Teens write porn fan fiction; sex and language. Rated: 3/5 Feb 18, 2020 Full Review Paul Freitag-Fey Daily Grindhouse 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.

Bradley J Great writing, original story, great acting, definitely a must see. Very smart and entertaining. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Some good scenes and plot twists, but hard to recommend. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/18 Full Review Audience Member A cool little movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member something crazy could have happened at the end but i couldnt finish this, felt like a disney channel movie Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
