Nicolas Rapold New York Times Feb 26, 2015
Some of the deadpan moments and more fraught exchanges don't really come off. But all in all, it's one curious, and furious, escapade. Go to Full Review Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice Feb 24, 2015
Even in its longueurs Young Bodies yields beauty and surprise, and there are inklings of some grand conception, even among scenes that feel haphazardly chosen ... Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety Feb 24, 2015

3.5/5
The film, shot on 16mm by Sean Williams, gives the film a retro out-of-time feel and Betzer gives us room to think - the spartan scripting matched by a minimalistic approach to the music Go to Full Review Zach Hollwedel Under the Radar Mar 28, 2015

Aug 6, 2015 Andrew T. Betzer's feature length cinematic debut is an intriguing and challenging film. After an accidental tragedy, their mother sends them away with a little money and a car. The film defies genre and is largely experimental in narration and editing. Betzer offers more questions than answers. There is no sentiment here or comedy. The film reminds me a bit of early work from Harmony Korine, but without the intention of shock or mock. This is a powerful film that seems stands alone and is constantly threatening to slip and fall into unforgiving waters. Potent stuff.

There are some beautiful shots but as a whole it's a bit messy See more Read all reviews
