Critics Consensus

A well-acted depiction of grief and self-discovery, Suncoast often overcomes its reliance on broad coming-of-age tropes with a light touch and a charming ensemble cast.

It's been a while since I've watched a drama. It was intriguing. The cast was good. The main reason I watched it was Laura Linney, she did not disappoint. It had a mediocre plot but the time..

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

If you are looking for a coming of age movie that hits all of the emotions - happy, sad, mad - look no further. This film comes to a bittersweet close, leaving you to think about how you treat people and what matters most. Outstanding acting performances across the board here!

This is a great movie about a teenaged girl trying to fit in in her Florida high school while her mom is flipping out about her brother's terminal disease. It's funny and touching.

The Age (Australia)

The cast is very good, but each of them is filling out a role that could have been better illustrated with some extra detail.

Where “Suncoast” stumbles is when it sacrifices specificity for generic sentiment.

Hey, Have You Seen ...?

These are people trying their best to navigate an impossible ordeal while falling prey to the momentary satisfaction of transferring their pain onto each other. And it unfolds beautifully thanks to Chinn's words and Linney and Parker's performances.

Rated: 8/10
