John Anderson Wall Street Journal Adolescence is, at the center of its broken heart, an examination of tormented youth. Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone This is not an easy watch... But in what Adolescence has to say, and in how eloquently and audaciously it says it, it’s also among the very best things -- and an early contender for the best thing -- you will see on the small screen this year. Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter Fortunately, the camerawork mostly complements both a plot with unsettling contemporary resonance and the human characters, played exceptionally well by the likes of Stephen Graham, Ashley Walters, Erin Doherty and spectacular newcomer Owen Cooper. Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Keeley Brooks Loud and Clear Reviews Adolescence is a hauntingly engrossing cautionary tale that sticks with you long after it ends. Rated: 4/5 Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Far from reveling in virtuosity and visual pyrotechnics, the filmmakers achieve...a power, a naturalness and a truth very difficult to reach, through a work built by means of editing. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4.5/5 Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Tim Stevens The Spool The series is no one’s idea of a good time on your television screen. And yet, when you’re ready, it must be seen.
