Variety

Wolff gives a focused, attention-grabbing performance, working from the outside-in, with an affected long-voweled voice and measured, studied pose and walk. As Tom’s world crumbles, his performance becomes more raw, adding sensitivity and disillusionment.

Enthralling even when it doesn't go deep.

TheWrap

“The Line” doesn’t meet the moment it tries to create and the result is half-baked enough for anyone to disappointedly drop out of rush week.

Louisa Moore

Screen Zealots

A tired, clichéd coming-of-age movie about college boys behaving very badly, this exercise in toxic masculinity tries too hard to find thought-provoking things to say about the importance about tradition, social status, and moral ambiguity.

Tales from the Paulside

Accurate portrayals, sartorially and socially, give Berger’s debut a sense of authenticity.

Rated: 3/5

Sarah Manvel

Critic's Notebook

It’s that lack of imagination on Mr. Berger’s part that hampers the film. The world and its attitude to power are shifting; and Mr. Wolff and Mr. Abrams give performances well worth seeing, but “The Line” is still partying like it’s 1999.
