Unicorns Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Peter Debruge
Co-directors Sally El Hosaini and James Krishna Floyd's scrappy drama shows enormous heart, but it's the lead actors and their disparate identities that distinguish an otherwise familiar LGBT-themed indie.

Sarah Vincent
If Patel is giving such a seamless performance his first time at bat, what will he do with more experience?!?
Spectrum Culture
Alan Zilberman
The strength of the performances are what add plausibility to each required plot point, so by the end, so the romantic pair are fully formed individuals with genuine hang-ups and yearning.
The Queer Gaze (Podcast)
Joe Lipsett
A sweet and charming, albeit familiar, romance that overstays its welcome with an overly long runtime. A violent third act twist, however, essentially derails the movie and nearly ruins it.
Always Good Movies
Filipe Freitas
Not particularly groundbreaking, Unicorns takes an eventful route to a predictable destination. It's a plot you can see coming once the main characters are in place.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
There's hope and joy to be found here along with passion and genuine heat, giving us a gay romance to treasure for years to come.
Los Angeles Times
Sergio Burstein
Sensitive and endearing portrait of one of those relationships that are rarely seen on screen, marked by particularly competent performances and enhanced by impressive choreography performances. [Full review in Spanish]
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Unicorns has... plenty of crowdpleasing energy. Still, I couldn't help finding it awfully reminiscent of numerous past movies with a similar central dynamic, and thought a story whose beats are this predictable didn't need a full two hours to play out.

Zachary Lee
"Unicorns" reminds that the ability to transform and cross borders, whether physical, mental, or spiritual, is always proximate, oppressive systems, antiquated thinking, and insecurity be damned.
Collider
Elisa Guimarães
What could've been a film about a character learning to find her own truth through gender experimentation and self-actualization becomes a whole journey for another character, one who is far less interesting and likable.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
We meet two people at a compelling crossroads in their respective lives in this tender and heartfelt romantic drama, but the relationship that brings them together feels too contrived to resonate as intended.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
The third act ... appears to exist solely to let as many obstacles and complications as possible emerge or resurface.
Movies Thru the Spectrum
Al Alexander
The contrivances are of the eye-rolling variety. And in most instances, they would signal the death knell. But Hardy and Patel sell it to the max, including the swoon-worthy climax.
New York Times
Chris Azzopardi
Hardy peels back the layers to reveal Luke's sexual awakening so viscerally that it's easier to overlook the film's narrative shortcuts.
IndieWire
David Opie
Newcomer Jason Patel brings an open heart to the role of Aysha, dancing between vulnerability and seductive magnetism with subtle shifts in physicality.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
an LGBTQ film for hopeless romantics, but others may find it frustratingly simplistic, raising issues only to jettison them.
Autostraddle
Drew Gregory
I wish the filmmakers saw Aysha less through Luke's eyes and more through the eyes of her trans best friend. She's not exotic; she's not a challenge; she's just a person searching for herself.
TheWrap
Steve Pond
"Unicorns" pleads for understanding but does it in a way that at its best is contemplative rather than histrionic. It's a story of two people in a world that isn't always welcoming, and it's as simple and as complicated as that story can be.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
There's inherent power in that story, and Hardy and Patel really understand these characters and how they navigate their worlds. It's in Hardy's emotional eyes or Patel's captivating smile.
The Hollywood Reporter
Angie Han
It's a small story, in some ways - but one that, in Unicorns' tender hands, feels like more than enough.
