Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) A movie about what we ask of young people when these take these large steps towards their future, and to respect how hard it's going to be -- and it does that will a lot of style. Jun 15, 2024 Full Review Lisa Kennedy Variety Warm hearts and cooling feet is nothing new for movies, of course, but Kiersey Clemons’ portrayal of Celestina -- her head spinning -- raises the stakes of love and liberty. Jun 4, 2024 Full Review Devika Girish New York Times These are familiar, even hackneyed themes, which make the film’s relentless theatrics feel gratuitous and somewhat exhausting. Style overpowers substance, though Poe’s fantastic eye for composition and Clemons’s vivacious screen presence are undeniable. May 31, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer The Film Experience The Young Wife is hardly a conventional wedding movie, but one that grants a different kind of chilling significance to that life decision. It all feels like getting drawn in to a nightmare that hasn't yet started. Rated: B Jul 24, 2024 Full Review Monique Jones Common Sense Media This dramedy is a kaleidoscope of colors, patterns, glitter, shapes, and noise, a visual and audible representation of Celestina's internal panic and confusion about what to do with her life and her relationship. Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Joel Copling Spectrum Culture Poe is developing into a clear-eyed storyteller, whose films are about something real and tangible and unafraid of mess.
