Frybread Face and Me Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Hannah Bae
Gentle comfort is something the entire world is in need of these days, and "Frybread Face and Me" delivers that in abundance.
Gay City News
Gary M. Kramer
A gentle, poignantly narrated queer coming-of-age drama, "Frybread Face and Me" provides nice insights by creating meaning with symbols, such as a Navajo rug, that express life's possibilities.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Damon Wise
Frybread Face and Me features a guileless and charismatic young male in the lead, the "me" of the title, but the standout here has to be the fantastic Hogan, whose story perhaps this really is.
RogerEbert.com
Katie Rife
[The] film's gentle approach to storytelling ... and unhurried affect imbues small moments with outsized significance.
RogerEbert.com
Marya E. Gates
Writer/director Billy Luther's warm, tender, and funny debut "Frybread Face and Me," which was executive produced by Taika Waititi, explores the humor and joy in finding your footing with family and the strength that comes from embracing your heritage.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
Luther therefore deals with some heavy-ish subject matter throughout without shining too bright a light on it. The film is playing with familiar tropes along a formulaic path, but it's simply too endearing to dismiss outright.
The Hollywood Reporter
Angie Han
What Frybread Face and Me lacks in drama, it makes up for in a boundless affection for its characters and an appreciation for the everyday details of their lives.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
It's the heartfelt sentiment behind this sweetly imperfect film, which features a charming Native American cast and a story that amplifies Indigenous voices through cinema, that makes it feel so special.
Variety
Lisa Kennedy
Watching this family interact is a reminder how rare it is to see so many American indigenous actors in a space, weaving the unique and universal into stories that expand our storehouse of their experience.
Collider
Therese Lacson
On paper, the film is quite a simple concept, but Luther takes the building blocks of a strong coming-of-age story and builds something that will undoubtedly leave you feeling warm and fuzzy on the inside.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
A triumph. It's a remarkable artistic and thematic journey back in time to when we were eleven, reviving those innocent feelings. a beautiful helping of magic, gentleness, learning, humor, and the absolute importance of family.
The Queer Review
James Kleinmann
The friendship that develops between the cousins is tenderly crafted by Luther and beautifully acted by the young leads who give natural, delicate performances that are both affecting and often hilarious.
Film Inquiry
Kristy Strouse
Frybread Face and Me is a touching coming-of-age story brimming with authenticity and the passion of its creator.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a gentle, lighthearted coming-of-age story that benefits from its solid performances and engaging atmosphere...
That Shelf
Victor Stiff
An exceptional coming-of-age film that captures the beauty of self-discovery.
TheArtsStl
Sarah Boslaugh
...faithful to the approach Benny attributes to his grandmother in his opening narration (voiced by Luther): "In Navajo storytelling, symbols mean more than facts, and time means nothing at all." |
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
The movie is overfamiliar and earnest, but you can't accuse it of not being heartfelt.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
It's a bittersweet tale with moments of genuine connection between the characters, as well as sections of real profundity.
Cambridge Day
Sarah Vincent
With the support of executive producer Taika Waititi, first-time feature writer and director Billy Luther's semi-autobiographical, gentle coming-of-age story offers an understated, seldom seen slice of quotidian Native American life
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
Luther's film may be built on his own coming of age, but there's both specificity and universality to this story, something for everyone who was ever a kid, Native or not, to connect with.
