We Are Your Friends Ratings & Reviews
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
Efron is a natural and likeable presence on screen and has proven to be a pretty decent actor in films like Hairspray and The Paperboy. But the problem with "regularness" is that, in the wrong hands, it's kind of dull.
Movie Mezzanine
Charles Bramesco
In the line of succession for Channing Tatum's throne as Hollywood's go-to charismatic bro type, Efron's still pretty far down.
USA Today
Brian Truitt
A plethora of beats drop but little else of note - musical or otherwise - happens in the Zac Efron DJ fest We Are Your Friends.
ChristyLemire.com
Christy Lemire
It's the perfect one-last-blast movie for the end of summer.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
It's as if a Michael Lewis story or a 1980s Paul Schrader movie were intercepted by studio marketing execs who said, "You should turn Saturday Night Fever into a commercial for SunnyD."
Associated Press
Sandy Cohen
Director Joseph captures the vital energy and druggie haze of EDM parties, providing a peek into a world not often seen on the big screen.
BuzzFeed News
Alison Willmore
Its poignance comes from the film's desire to treat the aspirations and emotions of its tender-hearted, kinda dim hero seriously while maintaining enough distance to feel wiser and more mature than he is.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
It's all big, dumb, broad strokes, with plot points visible from miles away. But it works where it matters: The music is fantastic, and the film invests you in its central relationship.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"We Are Your Friends" is a movie that explores the beat and pace of the dance floor, but its bpm flatlines.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
It never persuades us that EDM anything but derivative, mostly because the movie is, too.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
We Are Your Friends is one of the worst titles of the year, and the trailer was just awful. The actual product is a step up, squarely in land of Below Average.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
The movie never quite decides if it wants to be a sensitive drama of self-actualization or a playful party movie and ultimately misses the mark on both counts.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"We Are Your Friends" is a drama set in the electronic dance music scene and starring Zac Efron, and, yes, that sentence just canceled itself out.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
The goal of EDM, at least to its more utopian advocates, is to annihilate the ego and embrace collective rapture. We Are Your Friends doesn't really do that, but it does occasionally crack open the door far enough to offer a glimpse of Eden.
New York Times
Nicole Herrington
If the filmmakers were aiming to mimic the flow of electronic dance music, they succeeded. The action slowly builds and breaks down, with dance beats kicking in periodically. Not much resonates here; it's all facile entertainment.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Molly Eichel
Who is this movie for? Is it aimed at women who will be drawn to Efron, with his cut body and brow furrowed just-so in order to feign depth? It's hard to justify that when the movie seems to have no respect for women at all.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Like its protagonist -- a 23-year-old DJ from the San Fernando Valley -- the coming-of-age story We Are Your Friends is sentimental, eager to please, and full of energy.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
[If you see it], see it for Wes Bentley's masterful, deadpan performance as the gaunt, aging eminence - 36 is like 75 in DJ years - who pulls his head out of a bottle long enough to do Zac Efron a favor.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Despite its questionable title (to whom are the "we" and "your" referring?), the film isn't very approachable. It keeps its distance in the emotional depiction of its relationships.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Efron and Bentley seem woefully out of place as would-be electronic dance music DJs.
