David Rooney Hollywood Reporter ... A film whose queer positivity should be a balm to LGBTQ kids wrestling with their sexuality as well as to parents struggling with acceptance. Jun 21, 2024 Full Review Stephen A. Russell Orion's Shoulder (Substack) It’s the kind of film that would have transformed my life way back when, much like Heartstopper is now. Nov 12, 2024 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage Stupendously well-told. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Hayley Croke Loud and Clear Reviews Fear and the fear of rejection in all forms holds so many people back from being happy. This film is about combatting that fear in order to bask in the joy of being known. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 20, 2024 Full Review Alex Heeney Seventh Row Anthony Schatteman’s warm and lovely debut feature, Young Hearts, is a rare coming-out and coming-of-age film about characters as young as fourteen who also never need to put labels on their sexuality even while “coming out” to friends and family. Mar 22, 2024 Full Review Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf The boys’ performances are outstanding. Rated: 3/5 Feb 22, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
