Apr 18, 2018

It’s a sweet story about someone who doesn’t know what their story is. It’s a funny film about seriously figuring yourself out. It’s a serious film about pain, in which no one intentionally inflicts it. Craig Johnson might not have made a particularly strange film, but it’s a particularly kind one, and it’s worth loving.

Subtle it is not; Strangelove can feel aggressively self-aware, nouveau John Hughes with a pocket full of f-bombs and carefully worked one-liners. Read full review

It’s hard to dislike Alex Strangelove; one just wishes the film didn’t lean in quite so insistently to be petted. Read full review

Alex Strangelove is a little stylistically unambitious, nor is it terribly compelling as a romance — who Alex ends up with is ultimately beside the point. Read full review

It’s the awkward tween of gay coming-of-age movies: earnest and confident, but more than a little clumsy. Read full review

Katie Walsh

Alex Strangelove is a deeply annoying failed experiment at melding a sensitive LGBTQ love story with the ethos of raunchy teen sex comedies. Read full review
