Stateside Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
May 18, 2025
There is no magic in "Stateside." It's a fascinating true story, but it's told in a way that makes it feel fake. Still, it's a watchable film.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
The lovers' nonexistent chemistry doesn't generate enough heat to light a match.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
It felt authentic ...
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
Suffers from a lack of narrative cohesion.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
It's so unexpected and unpredictable and so full of tiny grace notes that its ultimate collapse seems almost irrelevant.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Turns out to be not so much a movie about a Kwazy Person as it is about a Stoopid Person.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
A genuinely affecting love story told without a trace of affect.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Plays like a movie of the week.
New York Post
Megan Lehmann
Writer-director Reverge Anselmo handles sensitive issues not with kid gloves, but with a metaphorical baseball mitt, fumbling with tone and obviously laboring to force quirks upon characters and situations.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
The film manages to hit all the emotional beats, but most land with a resounding thud.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
Though much of the movie feels as undeveloped as Mark is, it manages to end the way any decent love story must -- on a sweet, touching note that makes us want to forgive the unsteadiness along the way.
Chicago Tribune
Robert K. Elder
A diluted, scattered drama -- less than the sum of its parts, but with an impressive cameo list.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Stateside plays like urgent ideas for a movie which Anselmo needed to make, but they're still in note form.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
This muddled drama begins as a high school soap opera, segues into a boys-to-men military drama and peters out as a feeble answer to Girl, Interrupted.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
Although based on a true story, it never establishes its own identity, often playing like warmed-over J.D. Salinger.
Observer
Rex Reed
Mexican writer-director, Reverge Anselmo, is clueless about how to make any of it believable, cogent or even remotely interesting.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Anselmo, basing his script on a true story, juggles more plots than a full season of The O.C., setting his cast adrift in a sea of soap-opera bubbles.
Variety
Robert Koehler
Contrived and emotionally incomplete, and strained further by self-consciously cockeyed dialogue.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
The way that all of this plays out is so unconvincing that I felt as if I was watching a lost Project Greenlight movie in which half the key scenes, after testing into the basement, had been chucked at the last minute.
Village Voice
Ed Park
Stateside's real-life frame allows the complexities of mental illness and military service to lose dramatic tension, resulting in a desultory home stretch.
