Love and sex are scary in Bradley Rust Gray's over-Freuded exercise in semi-horror/gender studies. Read full review

IndieWire Eric Kohn

The mystical allure of this long-awaited "lesbian werewolf movie" turns out to have more value than the real thing. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Imagine a teenage lesbian love story directed by David Cronenberg and you'll have some sense of the weirdness of Jack and Diane. Bradley Rust Gray's attempt to weave horror elements into a fairly conventional narrative yields diminishing returns in this overly stylized effort. Read full review

John Anderson

If Benicio del Toro designed Hallmark cards, or if "Lady and the Tramp" were lesbians, they'd have a lot in common with Jack & Diane, a well-constructed, well-intentioned but too deliberate attempt to provoke the unprovokable. Read full review

Scenes of the pair staring longingly into each other's eyes go on for so long that they become devoid of meaning, not unlike the film's alchemical fusion of genres. Read full review

Temple is dependable if uninspiring, and Keough has yet to develop much in the way of screen presence - in the film, her short dark hair and doughy features look sculpted to maximize her resemblance to her grandfather, Elvis Presley. Read full review

Sam Adams

Oct 31, 2012

The story of a young woman (Juno Temple) discovering that she is both a lesbian and a werewolf, Bradley Rust Gray's oddball horror parable starts with an irresistibly trashy premise and proceeds to treat it with the po-faced pretentiousness of a film-school thesis. Read full review

Flat out gross, Jack and Diane haunts you with disgusting violence and sex which promotes nausea. Then you puke after the movie ends.
