Tramps feels like kids playing dress-up crime, but not in a good, charming way, just one that can’t be bothered to do the research groundwork.

Instant classic. I told you. Now go away.

| Original Score: FIVE STARS | Mar 22, 2022

In going back to a similar scenario as his first film, Leon risked repeating himself, but with "Tramps," he's achieved something too unique to call a copy of any kind.

With a laid-back, '70s soul, Tramps is the rare doe-eyed relationship movie where playing third-wheel is a joy.

| Sep 15, 2017

Cynicism is a common disposition for the generational crop of filmmakers Leon belongs to, and it's refreshing-invigorating even-to watch skilled directors reject acrimony and jaded pretension for bona fide, unabashed sincerity.

| Original Score: 7.9/10 | Jun 30, 2017

Tramps is overall a winning film, proving once again that some of the best romantic comedies can be light on plot: all we need is an excuse for beautiful people to fall in love.

Tramps won't stay in your mind for days after, but it's a genuine delight.

| May 9, 2017

There's a sense of generosity flowing through Adam Leon's films that reminds me of the best Jonathan Demme movies. The kindness is restorative.

| Apr 25, 2017

Romantic comedy involving a heist has cursing.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 25, 2017

Carefully doling out information... Leon maintains a buoyant energy that's given even more bounce by the film's lively score and soundtrack

| Apr 24, 2017

"Disarming" may be the best word to describe Tramps in a nutshell.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 24, 2017

'Tramps' wisely capitalizes on the intriguing chemistry between the film's young co-stars, Callum Turner and Grace Van Patten. The result? A romantic treat.

| Apr 23, 2017

The plot and characterizations are as self-consciously phony as anything in the early French New Wave, but minus the experimental intent, the commentary on genre and the gaze, or the extreme personal investment.

| Original Score: C+ | Apr 21, 2017

The two leads are remarkably fresh, and so is the movie.

| Original Score: A- | Apr 21, 2017

It's Tramps' attitude to be short and sweet that proves definitive, vital.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 21, 2017

At a time when American romantic comedies aim for broad humor and questionable gender politics, [the film] provides a more intimate contrast to the market standard. If romantic comedies need a savior, Leon may be their best hope.

| Original Score: B | Apr 19, 2017

A delightful little picture...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 19, 2016

A marvel to watch unfold.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 16, 2016

At 82 minutes it still feels a little logy, but Turner and Van Patten have a lovely, prickly chemistry, and for long stretches of Tramps it's enough to just watch them wander around forging an unexpected connection.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 14, 2016

A pair of the most charming performances of the year.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 12, 2016
