Review For Movie The Spectacular Now
[A] nuanced and unsentimental coming-of-age film.Andrea Gronvall-Chicago Reader
This adaptation of Tim Tharp's novel, directed with delicate restraint by James Ponsoldt, sneaks up on you. It makes you laugh, then it breaks your heart.
Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
Teller and Woodley hum together, and the movie does their performances justice.
Adam Graham-Detroit News
This coming-of-age movie should appeal to smart, sensitive young people who haven't been exposed to the better examples of the genre.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The film is engrossing all the way through, the sweetest, saddest, most humane movie I've seen all year.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
So many films featuring teens seem overstimulated or familiar. This one strikes a deep, rich note and holds it.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
But even when the tone gets a bit puritanical in the stretch, director James Ponsoldt's respect for his characters keeps things relatively real and still entertaining. If only more teen dramadies could claim that elusive pairing.
Bob Strauss-Los Angeles Daily News
What you thought would be a generic high-school romance turns into an edgy character drama with dark, uncompromising undertones.
Jules Brenner-Cinema Signals
[Ponsoldt] enjoys playing with our expectations by following conventions, luring us into the sense that we know what's coming, and then swerving just a little off-road for a detour.
Jared Eisenstat-Film Comment Magazine
The film deals believably and honestly with teen anxieties about the future, while also exploring the familial impact of addiction.
Travis Hopson-Examiner.com
Stark and gritty, this may be the most down-to-earth teen romance ever, filled with touches of unpredictable, inescapable reality.
MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher
One of the best modern coming-of-age tales, told with depth and, more importantly, wisdom.
Mike McGranaghan-Aisle Seat
Teller and Woodley are good but it is Kyle Chandler who really shines in this young love story.
Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com
Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller are, well, spectacular in the lead roles, helping to elevate what could easily have been a standard coming-of-age drama.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
There's an element so relevant to the credibility of the story that the script avoids completely and it's shocking this fundamental defect isn't provoking more contempt.
Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah)
The Spectacular Now marks the return of the great coming-of-age movie
Erik Davis-Movies.com
Director James Ponsoldt has a drinking problem. The problem is that he apparently can't stop making movies about drinking.
Rick Kisonak-Film Threat
And credit the filmmakers for not dramatizing the fateful "first time." In so many films it's portrayed as serious and painful, almost like a punishment. Here it is shown the way I remember it...nervous banter and a lot of giggling.
Michael A. Smith-MediaMikes
The film's utter believability on all fronts is its greatest asset.
John Serba-MLive.com
Nothing spectacular, skip it.
Jolene Mendez-Entertainment Spectrum
Teller and Woodley make lasting impressions in this bittersweet, unassuming little summer gem, a movie that's "spectacular" in own simple way.
Neil Pond-American Profile
Both Teller and Woodley are engaging actors who put forth their character's struggles with tremendous conviction and guile.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Ponsoldt has created a coming-of-age movie that won't leave you rolling your eyes.
Rick Bentley-Fresno Bee
Maybe I'm missing something, but I found The Spectacular Now a good bit shy of spectacular.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Packages a couple of great performances and superior atmosphere into one of the best films of the summer.
Stephen Silver-EntertainmentTell
Unfortunately, an odd paradox emerges. The more we learn about Aimee -- the more she is presented in depth, as a complicated character -- the more she is revealed to be, in fact, just a prop for Sutter's rehabilitation and redemption.
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
