Slant Magazine
The film advances that old Hollywood trope: Blacks can't get justice unless whites are willing to get it for them. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
The starry chemistry of leads Ansel Elgort and Chloë Grace Moretz injects a modicum of energy into the coming-of-age drama, whose elements of romance, crime and smart-kid angst never coalesce. - 38

All of the personages in this slight movie are relatively one-note. It’s a shame that actors as searching and scrupulous as Strathairn and Keener are so ill-used. - 30
Village Voice
What follows is something like Veronica Mars, only set in snowy D.C. and on heavy sedatives. - 30
Variety
It’s a low-budget generic shrug of a movie, one that recycles clichés both ancient (testy drug dealers) and slightly less ancient (the hero films his life with a camcorder).
