Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 06/21/2023
This is a slight but insightful film that feels very real. Go to Full Review
Erik Piepenburg New York Times 06/20/2023
Biasin’s script plods as it relies on repetitive band rehearsals and inert conversations to pad a story that only mildly explores young gay desire — like “Heartstopper” but with less charm and fewer stakes. Go to Full Review
Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome 07/24/2023
There’s a certain kind of magic reserved for a teenage, shoegaze-y rock band. Such is the central heartbeat of Sublime, an Argentinian LGBTQ+ drama about two boys growing up and every turbulent feeling that comes along with it. Go to Full Review

Just because I wasn’t vibing with much of Sublime doesn’t mean I can’t admire it as a picture with a boundless heart. Go to Full Review
Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 06/22/2023
The script can feel a little under-defined in narrative terms...still, it sensitively captures a formative uncertainty about relationships in ways that are refreshing, neither too-idealized or a cautionary tale. Go to Full Review
Jason Flatt But Why Tho? A Geek Community 06/21/2023
7/10
Sublime is, for the most part, a perfectly fine coming-of-age drama, but as it draws nearer to its end, it proves itself a very welcome depiction of what every queer kid deserves from their friends. Go to Full Review
