Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org They Reach is fun, warm and sincere, and at the end of the day - in this appalling year especially - that feels like it is more than enough to mark it as a success. Dec 5, 2020 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine It is a shame that the film seems so derivative, since aside from Dall and co-writer Bry Troyer's screenplay, there is rather a lot in They Reach to enjoy. Rated: 6/10 Jun 2, 2021 Full Review Elias Savada Film International They Reach offers slow build up and small jump scares. Too much music, not enough imagination, although the direction is adequate. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 27, 2020 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media Horror violence, cursing in Stranger Things wannabe. Rated: 2/5 Nov 18, 2020 Full Review Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion Succeeds in achieving a retro feel, and has sporadic moments of innocent charm and mild excitement. Overall, though, it's a conscientious effort, not a keeper. Rated: C- Nov 6, 2020 Full Review Tyler Smith Battleship Pretension So visually and tonally engaging that both the film's flaws and derivations fall away. Nov 5, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

nick s Admittedly I didn't watch all the way through. Lots of effort put into cinematography and lighting, not quite as much as effort put into acting and script. With better directing these actors are probably capable of delivering better results. But as it was I wasn't drawn into the world for a minute. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Audience Member The "quirkiness" was way over the top. The father daughter drama made no sense and was extremely forced and unnecessary. I was confused by the behavior of nearly every character but especially the father and the cops. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Incredibly charming, occasionally funny, often messy. Something went wrong with the plot progression midway through. Ends in a ball of fire. But a cute ball of fire. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/02/21 Full Review Audience Member Great fun throw-back 70s horror flick. Stranger Things, Goonies, ET references. Schwinn Stingrays abound in this shoe-string, jump scare, production. Good fun. The cold open scene really sets the tone. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member For a "no budget" thriller they did a great job Imagine what this group could accomplish with an actual budget! I really liked that the lead was a girl who is smarter than the boys but doesn't try to hide it--In the 70's I was always told to "not let the boys know you are smart" BS. I didn't follow that rule and neither does Jessica! I loved the character of Cheddar so much and really am excited to see what this young cast does next. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A fun ride! Jump back to the 1970's for a classic friends to the end, good vs evil story led by a marvelous cast of young actors that save the day and possibly all of humanity. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
