Critics Consensus

Although it deserves credit for its strong cast and inclusive premise, They/Them is too tonally messy to cut more than skin deep.

Audience Says

The clichés outnumber the chills in They/Them, keeping this clumsy slasher from executing on its potentially interesting ideas.

It comes off like the filmmaker had no idea what kind of story he wanted to create around his capable cast.

“They/Them” never connects on a gut level, as a horror movie should. It’s too somber and plodding — a “message movie” delivered in a drab package.

As a director, Logan knows how to put us through the horror genre paces.

There is little redeeming value to They/Them. It fails as an escapist slasher flick for queer kids to vicariously live through, and it doesn’t make a strong case for dismantling conversion camps.

They/Them isn’t really what I was expecting, but as somebody who has little interest generally in horror and even less experience watching it, I was ultimately glad for the kind of movie that it wound up being.

I'm a straight cis-gender woman, and I thought this was fabulous...and Kevin Bacon nailed it.

Don't understand the low ratings (homophobia?). I think the performances are excellent and the plot is interesting. (Admittedly, I didn't enjoy the sex scenes and torture, however.) Especially enjoyed the dance scene to the Pink song "Perfect". So apt.

More than halfway through I just stopped the movie because it just seemed so ignorant.

Watched this with my nonbinary partner and they don’t even want to be nonbinary anymore because of this

A film that kinda feels like it isn't sure what it wants to be. It's got some really poignant ideas, and decent characters but the message gets muddled thanks to the film's fear to offend.
