Slanted Ratings & Reviews
Kevin Ward
July 1, 2025
If Mean Girls and The Substance had an Asian baby and raised her in a society ruled by white standards of beauty. Thought it was a little slow going at first but it takes off once our Prom Queen hopeful decides undergo her physical transformation. It’s funny and poignant but also features a lot of cool smaller details that make it worth watching with keen eye for deeper symbolism—the gradually changing aspect ratios, the names of the businesses in the background, the school mascot—it’s incredibly entertaining in its own but also incredibly exciting to see such a strong directorial voice from a debut feature. Would love to see what Amy Wang does next.

KT Mahe
Slanted dabbles in the world of satire with body horror and finds its heart in the relatability of navigating different worlds. At times, the very format hindered the fullness of humanity that made it so brilliant.

Slanted blends satire, horror, and comedy to explore identity and belonging with bite and wit. It's sharp, personal, and a reminder that these struggles aren't unique.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A bold satirical teen comedy turned into a body horror film that's rife with black comedy.
Film Inquiry
Kevin L. Lee
Slanted does not quite reach compelling highs, but it's put together with a ton of passion for the subject matter, as you can tell that this story feels largely autobiographical for Amy Wang.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
As personal as Slanted feels, the superficial nature of its satire winds up softening a lot of its sharper edges. That likely suits its teen demographic well but won't be as winsome for seasoned horror fans.

Siddhant Adlakha
It's anodyne, un-confrontational racial satire, with rote observations more befitting of an Instagram slide. Whatever version of the movie may have once existed, the final product has little intellectual or emotional rigor.
Inverse
Hoai-Tran Bui
It's a strong idea undercut by clumsy and heavy-handed execution.
POC Culture
Katie Smith-Wong
Slanted is one of those rare teen films that dares to explore how internalised racism can affect people of colour, culminating in heartbreak and horror.
FandomWire
Sean Boelman
Playing like a mix of Get Out and The Substance, Slanted is a smart, funny, and surprisingly emotional satire despite its occasional adherence to formula.
The Only Critic
Nate Adams
A little "Mean Girls" meets "The Substance," Amy Wang's "Slanted" offers an energetic take on body dysphoria, though its execution and tone can feel somewhat jumbled.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Wang springs a few clever surprises en route to a fairly predictable, if far from pat ending. Reductive as the outcome may be, the writer-director remains undeniably daring, spinning comedy from an inferiority complex and coming out on top.
AwardsWatch
Ryan McQuade
Slanted shows the promise of an up-and-coming voice in filmmaking that isn't able to stick the landing with her debut, but provides a glimpse of a new voice to keep an eye out for over the next couple of years.
But Why Tho? A Geek Community
Kate Sánchez
Slanted (2025) uses genre storytelling to capture a lived experience that resonates deeply. Amy Wang's directorial debut is a strong stance on identity and, more importantly, a film that embraces the messiness of it.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
The film struggles in a similar manner to many contemporary satires that want to send up and sentimentalize. Even if Slanted doesn't always succeed on the level of satire, Wang is a confident director.

Zachary Lee
It's cathartic to see rage so singular and justified on-screen.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
A twisted, unsettling, cautionary tale of self-acceptance and the cost of trying to be someone else.
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
While Wang often swings too wide, the bigger picture is a compelling one, rich with pointed questions and damning answers. Talk about an American nightmare.
The Hollywood Outsider
Aaron Peterson
It's The Substance of the cultural divide. It left me pontificating on its meaning and the resonance of its message. In a world obsessed with polarizing debate, what is often missing is nuanced discussion. Slanted is one helluva conversation piece.
