The New Romantic is the rare film that presents these relationships without judgment offering up the good, bad, painful, and confusing as a matter of fact. Read full review

As sincere and entertaining as it is, The New Romantic makes the classic university mistake of trying to ace the exam by cramming the night before. Read full review

The New Romantic follows a very familiar arc, but the path is certainly a pleasant one, thanks to Barden’s naturally ebullient performance. Her enthusiasm in the fun parts is infectious, and she holds the camera during the moments of melancholy. Read full review
