Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter Despite the hiccups, She’s the He is reliably delightful. Apr 7, 2025 Full Review Siddhant Adlakha Variety It sounds like a ferocious right wing fever dream, but the result is a meaningful comedy-drama about identity, and the confusion of burgeoning youth. Mar 24, 2025 Full Review Jacob Oller AV Club A refreshing, authentic comedy that’s talking to trans and cis kids alike in a language they’ll immediately recognize as their own. Rated: B- Mar 15, 2025 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots This bold, chaotic, modern coming-of-age comedy tackles gender identity, friendship, and societal prejudices with a mix of humor and sincerity. A youthful energy drives the film's frenetic pacing, over-the-top editing, and animation-heavy style. Apr 15, 2025 Full Review KT Mahe For Your Reference Podcast Real progress is having Trans representation that is reflective but also playful. She’s the He is gorgeously specific while also tapping into themes that are broadly relatable. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Oti For Your Reference Podcast She’s the He blends teen comedy with heartfelt insight, offering a fresh, thoughtful take on identity, friendship, and the courage it takes to live your truth.
