Gary Goldstein

Los Angeles Times

Although evocative and nicely observed, the coming-of-age drama "Yosemite" ultimately proves too low-key and elliptical to make much of an impression. "Stand by Me" it ain't.

The Hollywood Reporter

The movie succeeds on its own quiet terms, binding the three parts together with assurance and tonal consistency to cast a lingering spell.

Entertainment Weekly

Franco gives one of his most subtle performances yet as a recovering-alcoholic father, and the three young newcomers' performances are honest and affecting.

Yosemite is a small but touching film, and has given voice to a new and interesting talent in Gabrielle Demeestere.

An earnest examination of the loss of innocence this critic might have appreciated even more if the subject-matter hadn't be so relentlessly dark and disturbing.

Rated: 2.5/4

While many may find its slow pace and lack of action a bit frustrating, Yosemite is a thoughtful and well-executed coming of age indie...

Rated: 7.5/10

I still don’t understand what this movie was actually about. The expectations were high based on the synopsis, but nothing…ever….happened…and I still do not understand what this had to do with Yosemite. If you want a movie that will put you to sleep…watch this.
