Synopsis
Idealistic 15-year-old Owen gets the chance of a lifetime to be the youth spokesman for U.S. Senate Candidate Lawrence Connor, only to be exploited in a fierce campaign of TV and radio ads, posters, interviews, and speaking engagements in the cut throat media-image-is-all world of American politics.

Film Threat
Excellent directing coupled with a smart script and solid acting make Choose Connor a movie worth your time. - 80
Los Angeles Times
What makes Choose Connor so special and unsettling is the consistent adroitness and perfect timing with which Eberl makes his revelations. - 50
The New York Times
What makes the journey compelling is the relaxed chemistry between the young actors and an insistently apprehensive tone that pervades even the most prosaic exchanges. - 50
Variety
Once Choose Connor ventures into the larger political arena, it begins to work against itself. - 38
New York Post
This overlong, obvious and indifferently acted melodrama was written and directed by Luke Eberl, a former child actor, before he turned 21. - 20
Village Voice
For all the potential of this coming-of-age/political-awakening tale, Choose Connor undoes itself with an egregiously sordid turn.
