Griff seems a little too psychologically damaged to laugh at. On the other hand, for a drama, his behavior is way too silly to take seriously.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Rotten
It tries too hard to be eccentric, kooky. So hard, it can be downright annoying.
Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer

Something clicks here. Physically as well as verbally, these kids are speaking their own language.
John Hartl, Seattle Times
Rotten
The touches of magical realism begin to feel gimmicky. By the final frame, this romance never feels real enough.
Ethan Gilsdorf, Boston Globe
