Teen Spirit Ratings & Reviews
Detroit News
Adam Graham
The debut film from writer-director Max Minghella... understands the transcendent power of a great pop song, but not how to harness that same energy in storytelling.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
You go to the fair, you get your cotton candy, you know what you're in for: nearly unadulterated sweetness that melts into nothing almost as soon as you take it in.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"Teen Spirit" is a stylish doodle. But it's from a first-time filmmaker who's still learning to draw and who likes to color outside the lines. So watch this space.
AV Club
Caroline Siede
Yet in a film seemingly aimed more at teens than adults, Minghella effectively updates that familiar star-is-born template for an arthouse-minded Instagram generation.
Arizona Republic
Samantha Incorvaia
This won't be the best movie audiences will ever see, but at least it's fun to watch with pretty visuals and upbeat songs.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It's not the slickness that sells "Teen Spirit" anyway, but its strangeness.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
As we've learned from Daniel LaRusso and a host of other underdogs in any manner of competitions, it's not impossible for heart to triumph over technique.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"Teen Spirit" is not a particularly ambitious film, and its impact was always going to be limited. But it's consistently intelligent, and Minghella assumes that the audience is intelligent, too.
Austin Chronicle
Danielle White
The musical performances increasingly become larger than life, with throbbing, generic beats and seizure-inducing neon strobes - a nihilistic carnival ride of possibility.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
But while not exactly believable, this is still a feisty modern-day fairy tale that brought a great big smile to my face.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Christy Lemire
This is pure formula, but it's really enjoyable -- glossy with tremendous energy.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Actor Max Minghella cranks up the energy and flashy style for a directorial debut that makes you want to both cheer and dance.
Refinery29
Anne Cohen
Max Minghella's debut feature is entirely surprising, even if its plot is a tried and tested classic.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Emily Yoshida
It's a star-is-born story that, like its protagonist, is an empty vessel: anonymous and devoid of soul perhaps in an effort to be a surface onto which anyone could project, yet dull enough that few will want to.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
"Teen Spirit" is somewhere between feeling abbreviated and wearing out its welcome.
Chicago Reader
Leah Pickett
Vivid colors and shimmering light communicate the singer's frissons and invite her audience to feel them, too.
NPR
Ella Taylor
It's Fanning... who retains the sweetness of this heavily-trodden teen fable without ever tipping it over into cloying goo.
Riot Material
Kristy Puchko
Teen Spirit totally rocks.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
"Teen Spirit," Max Minghella's sweet and touching directing debut, is both proudly clichéd and refreshingly different.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Debuting director Max Minghella knows he's running on a formula wheel, but the luminous Elle Fanning-doing her own vocals (no Auto Tune)-is simply sensational as a young singer competing in an 'American Idol'-like TV competition.
