Reviews
91
Jacobs, working from a script by Patrick de Witt, takes a conventional coming-of-age story and does it proud, enlivening the plot with an almost experimental portrait of alienation and despair.
83
deWitt's script is much better than anything Jacobs has worked on before, with a story that gets richer as it goes.

Village Voice
Humanistic without being moralistic, and very funny, Terri is a measured, observational examination of the stratification of teenage loser-dom.
80
A movie that could terrify parents while charming them with its compassion.
80
What lifts Terri above its peers is not the plight of its protagonist or the film's sympathy for him, but rather the care and craft that the director, Azazel Jacobs, has brought to fairly conventional material.
