Reviews


70
Los Angeles Times - Gary Goldstein
Although the film can feel a bit been-there-seen-that, this earnest, well-drawn tale ultimately proves distinct and winning enough to warrant a look.
67
The Film Stage - Jared Mobarak
Butler’s film may be beholden to certain clichéd conventions and formulaic familiarity in its progression, but its characters evolve within them with an authenticity that dismisses such convenience as a way of life.
60
Empire - Ian Freer
The story is programmatic and the indie stylings feel tired but Handsome Devil is a winning, enjoyable call for individuality. And Nicholas Galitzine and Fionn O’Shea show promise for the future.
60
Time Out London - Tom Huddleston
It’s all a bit heavy-handed at times, but this is a sweet story honestly told.
60
Village Voice - Craig D. Lindsey
As the flick teeters between feel-good message movie and a burlesque of gay panic, the director scratches the surface in order to show how people rarely look beyond the surface of others.
