This is one of the most important Australian films to be released in recent years. Not only does it clearly show that Stolevski is one of the most promising young directors around but it brings some very important social issues to the forefront.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 23, 2023

Of an Age is a slow-burn romance that reveals that brief encounters and tender romances are part of life-changing experiences. Anton portrays the awkwardness of the young teenager trying to come to terms with his sexuality.

Goran Stolevki’s Of an Age understands what it is to be stripped bare by a gentle gaze. It also comprehends all the confusion and panic that surrounds being seen and seeing oneself.

| Sep 6, 2023

Though small in scale and modesty told, this is a tremendously ambitious film, gambling everything on creating and selling a chemistry without which it would all fall to pieces. It gets away with it.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 7, 2023

A landscape that calls upon the nostalgia of the late 1990s and early 2000s, Of an Age is powerful in its drive to establish interdependence during a moment frozen in time for its two leads.

| Jul 25, 2023

Stolevski may not quite match what Richard Linklater pulled off in “Before Sunrise,” another 24-hour romance, but after crafting a dark, thorny horror film, it's invigorating to see the filmmaker's more tender side.

| Jul 3, 2023

A poignant queer romantic drama.

| Original Score: B | Jun 20, 2023

Though the ending of Of an Age is dismayingly abrupt, much of what’s come before is sweet and erotic and wise about the fits-and-starts process of coming out -- chiefly to oneself.

| May 9, 2023

What started off promising ended melancholically pointless.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 17, 2023

A keenly felt romance that swells and swirls with lingering emotions.

| Apr 7, 2023

By now, even the straightest of movie-goers should be accustomed to the idea that a love story need not be strictly boy meets girl.

| Apr 7, 2023

...the male performances are of the first order and the screenplay is sensitive and intelligent — you hope that Stolevski will go on to make even better movies in the future.

| Apr 3, 2023

A regrettable case of being all revved up with nowhere to go. Nowhere of much interest, anyway.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 30, 2023

A quietly delicate and perfectly restrained queer masterwork that radiates with a tender, honest, and breathtaking depiction of first love.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 27, 2023

Of An Age is a queer Australian romantic drama brimming with tenderness and enchantment.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 24, 2023

It’s a tribute to the persuasiveness of both actors that they do more than survive the intensity of the camera’s scrutiny.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 23, 2023

[Macedonian Australian writer-director Goran Stolevski,] who spent his adolescence in Melbourne suburbia, has revisited his youth to craft a film of wonderful intimacy and tangible, electrifying motion, drawing upon those feelings of teenage alienation.

| Mar 23, 2023

It’s not a daringly new take on gay romance, but because it’s executed so well and resonates as something genuine and lived-in, it doesn’t need to be.

| Original Score: 15.5/20 | Mar 20, 2023

A memorable blast of humanity and nostalgia...

| Mar 3, 2023

Witty and winsome, the perfect indulgence to enjoy with your partner or hopelessly unrequited crush.

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 25, 2023
