Banana Split Ratings & Reviews
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
The problem with Banana Split isn't the surface phoniness or lazy comedy but the fact that the movie doesn't offer any insight into its ostensible subjects-among them break-ups, female friendship, and teenage jealousy.
Decider
Anna Menta
There was just something so deliciously compelling about these teens and their self-contained drama.
Linoleum Knife
Alonso Duralde
A smart and breezy coming-of-age comedy that pushes a lot of the buttons that Booksmart does.
The Playlist
Charles Barfield
Much like the dessert that inspired its name, Banana Split is a mixture of familiar tastes but combined in a way that sets it apart from your boring coming-of-age scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Cinefied
Peter Gray
Thanks to a genuine script and an honest mentality... its view on relationships in all their forms should resonate with audiences, especially young women.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
In short, this is a smart and moving comedy that will make you howl with laughter and call your best gal pal. It's d*mn good stuff and shouldn't be missed.
Film Threat
Alan Ng
Sweet, funny, cringe-worthy, and a testament to the importance of high school friendships.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Amy Nicholson
It is absolutely lovely. If I was going to watch a movie virtually this weekend, I would absolutely pick this one.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Wade Major
It's a very smart script and it really does get into some interesting emotional territory.
Common Sense Media
Joyce Slaton
Raunchy comedy has strong messages about female friendship.
San Francisco Examiner
Jeffrey M. Anderson
A plucky, funny coming-of-age story.
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
The problem with the film is that while their relationship is believable and there are a few funny moments here and there, it just never quite clicks in the way that you think that it should.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
A reasonably tasty confection, but in the end its nutritional value is low.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
An entertaining and often insightful look at female friendship during a particularly strange time.
Los Angeles Times
Kimber Myers
Regardless of how far audience members are from their own post-high school, pre-college summer like these teens, there's still truth and plenty of laughter here that feels specific to their experience yet universal to anyone who's had a BFF.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
When the movie is over, you've chuckled at it and been touched by it, and you're glad that you got to spend time with these actors, who are good enough that I could foresee any one of them blowing up big.
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
Like any romance, "Banana Split" is constrained to some familiar beats, but Kasulke, Marks, and Power have such a handle on what makes the film tick - and Marks and Liberato are so charming and fun - that even expected turns feel clever and fresh.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Is "Banana Split" an empty indulgence or a comfortingly familiar confection? Probably both.
TheWrap
Elizabeth Weitzman
Plenty of viewers are likely to nod when April googles "anxiety vs actual heart attack," while this critic was fully onboard from the moment she righteously refuses to serve a customer a hot dog at her movie theater concession job.
The Hollywood Reporter
Justin Lowe
Kasulke maintains a strong rapport with his cast and as a result the performances rarely feel forced, even when things get a bit outrageous, although for a cinematographer-turned-director, he favors a fairly subdued visual style.
