A 15-year-old boy's desire to have sex with another man lands him in a manipulative and exploitative situation.

Jay Weissberg

Variety

Characters are well-conceived, each a credible jumble of emotions stemming from burgeoning desires and a gradual understanding of the power that comes with youthful attractions.

Slant Magazine

Director Marco Berger offers us a gripping look at the tragedies that surface precisely when desire isn't allowed to express itself freely and publicly.

The Hollywood Reporter

A slow-burningly sensitive character study, which spices up familiar art-cinema techniques with genre inflections...

The Pink Lens

It manages to build that intense feeling of dread, but it drags its feet at every juncture and struggles to inspire any feeling of real empathy.

Rated: 3/5

San Francisco Bay Times

Viewers will likely feel conflicted and unsettled as Young Hunter plays out.... Berger takes a calculated risk here, but his skill as a filmmaker delivers a satisfying payoff.... This story is uncomfortable, but it needs to be told-and seen.

An unsettling and disturbing movie... that makes the gaze the key in every ethical reflection. [Full Review in Spanish]

Excellent acting and directing, but marred by a crappy stereotyped ending that belongs in gay movies of the 1960's.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
