Uproar Ratings & Reviews
Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast
Joe Lipsett
Dennison is exceptional as a boy discovering where and how to get engaged in activism. Driver's mother is a frustrating character, but she gets moments to shine. Overall this loose adaptation of real events is enjoyable and, sadly, extremely prescient
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Committed performances bring a warmth and conviction to this heartfelt Kiwi coming-of-age tale, which finds nuance and poignancy beneath its nostalgic surface quirks.
MovieWeb
Julian Roman
Uproar skillfully combines themes of identity, family, and social justice in a heartwarming and inspirational story. Julian Dennison shines in a thoughtful portrayal of courage and resilience in the face of adversity.
InBetweenDrafts
Sarah Vincent
Uproar can be predictable, but it is satisfying in the way that it evokes the high stakes of his choices. It's impossible to dismiss Josh's journey as overwrought teen angst, as it's really a battle for each character's soul.
Movies Thru the Spectrum
Al Alexander
Once again, the now grown up Dennison upstages his more famous co-stars with his natural ability to command a scene with a infectious blend of charisma and likability.
Common Sense Media
Kat Halstead
It's an engaging and affecting story of confusion, anger, bravery, and rebellion, but also of love, freedom, and joy.
The MacGuffin
Allen Almachar
The ambition to tackle heavy themes make this an engaging and heartfelt viewing experience.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Uproar is a smart and considerate film about one young man's personal and political awakenings.
We Live Entertainment
Aaron Neuwirth
Made to find a balance between brighter moments and dramatic ones, Uproar is quite affecting for a coming-of-age story, and a real winner.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A triumph. It's a sweet, funny and engrossing coming-of-age story.
For Your Reference Podcast
KT Mahe
Given the setting and the contemporary context, the decisions from a storytelling perspective softened its overall impact. What cannot be debated is the mana of the performances and fight for all.
The Movie Blog
Shah Shahid
Uproar is a lot of things, but mainly it's a cavalcade of emotions running rampant and all over the place, which is pretty much how it feels to be a teenager.
That Shelf
Victor Stiff
A laugh-out-loud-funny drama that adeptly delves into complicated issues of allyship and racial identity.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
Save a powerfully cathartic, climactic moment for Josh, Uproar might stop short of getting truly angry, but it doesn't shy from the complexity of what being an outsider means.
RogerEbert.com
Marya E. Gates
Dennison once again brings his signature warmth, humor, and pathos for a singular and deeply affecting performance.
