Surya Komal Just for Movie Freaks Growing Pains is a simple yet heartfelt coming-of-age drama that effectively captures the trials and growth of adolescence. Rated: 3.25/5 Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Federico Furzan Movie-Blogger.com A coming-of-age teen drama that doesn't feel authentic. Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Alejandro Turd贸 Hoy Sale Cine In spite of some pacing issues, Argyrople puts together a relatable story that digs deep into universal issues that resonate in anyone who has gone thru that awkward fase and anyone who might be experiencing it at the moment. Nov 26, 2024 Full Review Tony Asankomah GhMovieFreak For a writing and directorial debut, Catherine Argyrople certainly picked the right story to tell. She demonstrates a keen understanding of her chosen subject matter and how to get her message across. Rated: 6.5/10 Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Debopriyaa Dutta High on Films The authentic gravitas of [Growing Pains] is deeply undercut by the film鈥檚 feeble artistic core, where shoddy performances and a weak script majorly undermine an important story woven together from the perspective of a promising filmmaker. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy Imagine combining the most vulnerable moments of Bo Burnham鈥檚 Eighth Grade and Hulu鈥檚 Pen15 series, and you鈥檒l find that Argyrople鈥檚 sensitive film fits in squarely with these relatable titles.
