Critics Consensus

A nostalgic ode to kids' movies of yesteryear, Turbo Kid eyes the past through an entertaining -- albeit surprisingly gory -- postmodern lens.

Simon Abrams

"Turbo Kid" isn't really more mature than its raw generic parts, nor is it clever enough to disarm viewers who want to regress to childhood without feeling guilty for that naive impulse.

Rated: 2/4

Brad Wheeler

Globe and Mail

Made for ironicists, Turbo Kid, in its endearingly goofy way, says good things about the power reserves of our childhood - an inner superhero we can call upon when needed.

Rated: 2.5/4

Seattle Times

The whole thing looks like it cost its writer-directors, Franois Simard, Anouk Whissell and Yoann-Karl Whissell, oh, maybe $1.98.

Rated: 2/4

High on Films

Turbo Kid is a completely stupid, over the top, action-comedy with a heart. It's enjoyable if you are one of those who don't need their stories to make a whole lot of sense.

Rated: 2.5/5

The Last Thing I See

Turbo Kid has the makings of a perfect midnight movie, and will be a nostalgic blast in the face for those of us old enough to remember, or at least those who have developed an affinity for, the cheap Mad Max knock offs of the early 1980s.

Rated: B+

It's strange stuff, but there is an endearing quality to it. What the movie lacks in budget, it does makes up for in imagination.

i can understand that people want to support indie film making, but the issue here was a lack of effort or seriousness, not the intentionally tiny budget. there are a few costumes that work pretty nicely and a few moments that make it seem alright, but it's almost entirely crap

Budget for this movie was less than a thousand dollars. Nonsense story with even worse acting.

Grandioser Film. Toller Soundtrack. Gute 80 Vibes. Teilweise absurd brutal. Einfach glücklich machend.

Absolutely, a poor film. The special effects are simply horrible. A meaningless theme with lousy actors. I'm not sure why it gets so many positive reviews.
