Sixteen
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...is one of those movies that surprise you at every reel.
-
...pulls no punches when it matters. But it remains a warm, endearing film even when it gets down to tackling the bitter truths of life.
-
...don’t go looking for a massive epic and what you’ll get is what it is: NOT a nostalgia ride harking back to your own youth, but a realistic slice of urban, upper-crust teenaged life as it is today.
-
...is well-intentioned and tackles relevant issues, although the second half could've been sharper.
-
This Sixteen is slight, but stays fresh and honest for the most part.
-
...the film has its limitations. It focuses on the dilemmas of the rich kids, thus catering to urbane youth.
-
The finale is as cliched as they come. So the film ends up being delightfully audacious but also messed-up, pretty much like some of its characters.
-
...tries to be cool and the effort shows. The labour that such an effort requires shows through every department of the film and not in a good way.
-
Despite its hapless editing and a circus of miscasts, the admirable part is it doesn’t thrust an all-weather remedy to handling hormones effectively.
-
...is let down by its execution with little attention to detail and drags in places.
-
With better trimming and a tighter screenplay, Sixteen could have risen above the ordinary.
-
...is clearly an adult perspective masquerading as a teenage perspective on the lives of teenagers who are trying to be adults.
