It was good. Made me cry.

This film is one that shows the true essence of the teenage years, when one is figuring themselves out. It shows this nicely by not relying on outside judgement but rather what lies in the heart. A very heart-touching, sweet film

An intimate and beautiful telling of a story of escaping abuse, trying to find your place, reclaiming your cultural heritage, and stepping into your queerness. As someone who has had to do all of this (in a different context), I'm amazed at how sensitively and truthfully this is portrayed - and the measure of hope it keeps and gives. An instant favorite for me.

A stunning and beautiful film about discovery, belonging, friendship, kindness, family, and love. Well cast, written, acted, directed, and filmed. An insightful look into the indigenous Mik'maq tribe in and around Nova Scotia with proper respect given to the LGBT narrative arc that never preaches and only illuminates. This is what one hopes for when spending time viewing a really great independent film. And it really helps that the main three characters are so very likeable.

It reminds me of a professionally done college film. It has some charm, some rough acting and for some reason it's nearly 30 minutes longer than it should be. As a love story it doesn't really work, but as a journey it has moments. The heart doesn't overcome some of the film's shortcomings. The resolution appears out of left field and while it is always nice to feel good, this story seemed like it shouldn't be as tidy. It is great to see Natives playing Natives and a film with people of color as the focus never hurts, but just with the film was a touch better! Final Score: 5/10

I really must say this movie is a true masterpiece! Philip Lewitski and Joshua Odjick shines on-screen together and both deserves an Oscar for their performances.

a beautiful story. excellent acting and stunning cinematography

Excellent heartwarming movie, it is rare nowadays that a movie makes you feel something.

This film is a truly moving look into the lives of often underrepresented people and cultures. It's an honest, and heartfelt coming of age story that will resonate with most people, but it'll have a particular connection to anyone who's LGBTQ. My only genuine issue with the film is that the younger brother can at times feel like an afterthought in the story. This is somewhat addressed in the film though, and I don't feel like it really detracts from the overall story.

If you have a heart and soul you will love this movie. It was a sweet and loving look at young love. Don't let homophobic trolls keep you from watching this beautiful piece of cinema. This is a true indie film so it isn't made to the same scale as some other big-budget movies, but it is a gorgeous beautiful look at a community you never truly see portrayed in movies. Go watch it!!!

This movie is terrible. The plot is bland and the entire movie is to show support to a bunch of Gen Z emo LGBTQ snowflakes. Absolutely horrible. I am extremely homophobic.

Loved the ending ! Kept me on the edge of my seat

More emo, millenial crap on the big screen where emotional manipulation and catering to the demands of minority people groups is used to earn favor, but no signficant storyline to present. You'll find no reviews from mature, experienced adults for this movie unless they have an agenda for promoting the underlying message, and the same will go for movie critics. The story has no redeeming qualities, despite what some audience reviews will tell you, and the characters are representative of wistful existence, not actual phenomena indicative of human social psychology. As a result, the acting is beyond sub-par - a group of up-and-comers hoping the propaganda narrative will push them into the limelight to get the 15 minutes of fame they need to get a casting call for a real film. If this were listed under a "Fantasy" genre, it would be mediocre, at best. Additionally, as a doctor of psychology, I can, with confidence, attest to the fact that there are no academic publications proving the experiences and outcomes written into this storyline; they are all implicative of imaginative demand and wanton behavior that require the willing suspension of disbelief if anything more than surreal experience is intended. Just once, it would be great to see a filmmaker actually write story and shoot scenes that expose actual truths in sociological interactions - this is not that film, regardless of how 'good' it makes LGBTQ+ viewers feel.

Wildhood shows us a glimpse of the struggles endured by two young men (and a boy) in a small community with a narrative of determination, understanding, and acceptance while exploring themes of identity, culture, and coming-of-age. The film doesn't shy away from showing the realities of generational abuse, racism, homophobia, and sexual exploration and brilliantly weaves these topics throughout the journey such that the characters are better understood and there is a sense of hope, love, and new beginnings. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
