Joe the King Ratings & Reviews
Out Magazine
Michele James
Perhaps the most hopeful note in this despondent yet beautifully poignant tale is that Whaley emerged to tell it.
Common Sense Media
Brian Costello
Coming-of-age movie with mature themes, lots of profanity.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
Even with warts and all, "Joe the King" is a very worthwhile drama.
Fantastica Daily
Chuck O'Leary
An uncompromising but wonderful film that reinforces the saying 'Never judge a person until you've walked in their shoes.'
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
A very tough, very real film, anchored by the memorable work of the two leads.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
An excellent piece of entertainment. The cast is undeniably brilliant.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The film is so steeped in resentment that it's not able to pull back and let us see the boy behind the shield of his misery.
Film Journal International
Ethan Alter
Unfortunately, Whaley opts to take the sentimental route, providing easy, crowd-pleasing answers to the serious questions he raises.
