The tender little moments of adolescence are beautifully captured in this warm and modest coming-of-age drama.

New York Post

The movie is both amusing and disturbing as it explores Emerson's lurching efforts to bond with his teacher.

Rated: 3/4

These knots are all tied by the end, but not memorably so.

Boxoffice Magazine

Buchbinder displays an original filmic eye, but mostly Whole New Thing is a few drafts short of an emotionally fulfillilng feature.

I'm afraid that this didn't do much for me. The uber intelligent 13 year old dealing with angst etc. Seen it a million times before and this isn't one of the better stories to tell.

Blimey, yet another coming-of-age movie. This one sees home-educated son of hippies take to normal schooling and kinda getting too pally with his homosexual teacher. Brave filmmaking that's well acted and awkward to watch at times but captivating nonetheless.

A very touching coming-of-age story about a Canadian teenager who, having been raised by aging hippies, has no concept of real-world boundaries. When his parents take him out of home school and enroll him in a regular middle school, he becomes infatuated with his teacher and has trouble fitting in among the other students. It would seem as if this were cliche, but it manages to be something utterly new, and fits the title.
