      David Ehrlich indieWire It’s a hopeful — sometimes borderline exuberant — rallying cry for girls to stick together across the various divides that people use to disempower them. Rated: B- Mar 9, 2024 Full Review Paul Risker PopMatters Sharing its rebellious dream, maybe the characters in their reality are abandoned to a future that will swallow hope. However, they communicate the message of those survivors that found light in the darkness, who refuse to be defined by the shadows... Apr 20, 2024 Full Review Kristy Strouse Film Inquiry It’s a heartwarming story that’s colored with compelling personalities and relationships. We Were Dangerous is a compelling coming-of-age story guided with intrepid force. Apr 2, 2024 Full Review Valerie Kalfrin AWFJ.org ... draws attention to a rich topic, but it’s a well-intentioned misfire. Rated: 3/5 Apr 1, 2024 Full Review Sarah Manvel In Their Own League This is a delightful movie about how there’s hope in even the darkest of circumstances, especially if you have a fighting spirit and your friends. And there’s rarely a better message for teenagers than that. Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Mae Abdulbaki Screen Rant There is some lost potential & a lack of urgency, but We Were Dangerous’ heart is in the right place, bolstered by a great cast & a strong message. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
