Newlyweeds Ratings & Reviews
New York Amsterdam News
Lapacazo Magrira Sandoval
It's a tragic comedy in which the absurdity of the stoners' bad choices will find your funny bone. You will laugh and shake your head in mock disgust, because addicts are truly funny until they aren't anymore.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Jake Blumgart
Newlyweeds is a naturalistic portrait, with a few hallucinatory flourishes, of a very specific relationship in a very specific place.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Shaka King's low-budget debut feature is slim on plot but rich in attitude and on-the-ground detail of New York neighborhood life.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
A smoky, jazzy, biting and heartfelt comedy about two young people, one love affair, American life, African-American life, Brooklyn and - oh, yeah - weed.
ARTINFO.com
J. Hoberman
Newlyweeds is a movie of excellent riffs, understated timing, and memorable performances.
amNewYork
Robert Levin
Newlyweeds is a rare movie about stoners that treats pot addiction seriously, carving out a space of its own in a naturalistic middle ground between the familiar standards of surreal comedy and moralistic drama.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
It's a special movie. Odd, disjointed and not entirely coherent, but special.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
The movie at last finds its legs in a windup that has great compassion for these sweet, lost souls.
Paste Magazine
Jeremy Mathews
It's hard to determine exactly what Newlyweeds wants to accomplish, but it's plain to see that it fails.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
More a series of darkly comic vignettes than a conventional romance, King's exploration of chemically altered human chemistry is amusing if slight, and his two leads are appealingly solid, especially Cheatom.
The Dissolve
Andrew Lapin
It's difficult to deduce whether Newlyweeds is too loose, or merely designed to appear too loose...Yet the movie has a certain dark charm.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
"Newlyweeds," for all its freshness, never really lands. It remains suspended in a haze of secondhand smoke.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
While the movie's execution never quite makes up for its conception, it does elevate it above, well, just being the sort of movie that would be called Newlyweeds.
Village Voice
Nick Schager
Far from preachy, Newlyweeds treats its subject matter with increasingly sobering gravity, and both Cheatom and Harris embody their characters not as cartoons but as lonely, misguided souls too blazed to realize the error of their ways.
Slant Magazine
Kalvin Henely
Going neither in the direction of Reefer Madness nor a Cheech and Chong movie, it's both funny and serious, and its depictions of pot-smoking could be read as either promotional or cautionary.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Meredith Borders
It's billed as a dark comedy about two stoners in love, but the laughs - dark or otherwise - are scarce in the film. No, scarce is generous. Laughs are non-existent.
