More a short story than a novel in terms of cumulative heft, Weirdos nonetheless benefits from the literary virtues of revealing character through a seemingly casual, anecdotal narrative.

Cinema Scope

It's nice that this latest work by a filmmaker who has sometimes chased hipness past its expiration date concludes on a note of deliberate, intergenerational non-cool.

The young leads are charming and authentic, and the film reminds us all to embrace our own weirdness.

Rated: 3/4

The Film Stage

Landing somewhere between his brilliant character study Trigger and the frustrating, if not beautiful and heartbreaking This Movie is Broken, Weirdos is an endearing throwback to the moment where good kids engage in this kind of behavior.

Rated: B+

... the sensitive part of a world of fiction that floods us with certainties and the nostalgia of black and white on screen. [Full review in Spanish]

Kit may define himself as a weirdo, but this nostalgic, simple road trip is anything but.

Such a well made movie! You feel like you're viewing the lives of Kit and Alice and their struggles together. You feel the emotions on screen and feel like you're there!

Loved,loved,loved this fabulous film! So moving and the performances of Allan Hawco and Molly Parker are stellar. We need more queer positive Canadian stories.

A well-made, sweet coming-of-age story that had a really strong supporting performance from Julia Sarah Stone. Not everything here works perfectly and there were moments that fell a little flat but, for the most part, I was charmed by this story and its characters.
