Wildhood Ratings & Reviews
Women Write About Comics
Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan)
Wildhood is a quiet and beautiful film that captures the power of culture, heritage, and identity. It also effectively uses a multitude of genres to add pacing and tension to what could have been a languid film experience.
Loud and Clear Reviews
Daniel Allen
in the end, the film's groundbreaking, incredibly successful representation of Canada's Mi'kmaw community overshadows its well-meaning yet average road trip story.
Bay Area Reporter
Laura Moreno
This is a poignant film that stays with you.
IndieWire
Jude Dry
Enlivened by elegant handheld cinematography and a galvanizing breakout performance from Phillip Lewitski, Wildhood is a beautiful testament to the power of authentic storytelling.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
With its rough-hewn visual beauty and sensitive narrative touch, "Wildhood" is an affecting portrait of youth inching toward maturity.
Galveston Daily News
Dustin Chase
Hannam's coming of age story stands firmly on original ground, rich in culture and its exploration of sexuality.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Hannam's feature might be conventional in structure, but it's a lovely film with relatable characters you want to see overcome the roadblocks tossed at them.
Washington Blade
John Paul King
Leaves us with a sense of freedom and acceptance that is lighter than air.
New York Times
Natalia Winkelman
The quiet candor with which Hannam addresses issues of masculinity, and how it intersects with an Indigenous and queer identity, elevates this otherwise conventional story.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Claudia Puig
It's immersive, visually stunning, and compelling.
TheWrap
Carlos Aguilar
Rather than a run-of-the-mill coming-of-age road trip, "Wildhood" is a young protagonist's quest to bring harmony to the intersections of his identity.
Austin Chronicle
Valeria Valdez
As Wildhood unfolds, it soaks up its initial catalysts of trauma and applies the balm of tenderness, love, compassion, and the bliss of finding exactly what its protagonist was hoping for, if not more.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Trust in strangers is a big theme in this sweet-natured film.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
A thoughtful, poetic, and transcendent meditation on growing up, finding one's way, and creating a better life.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It tells a simple modern day family drama story about the Mi'kmaw culture.
Orca Sound
Carey-Ann Pawsey
Culture, language, ties to the land, and sexuality are all examined here.
Mediaversity Reviews
Li Lai
By virtue of so many Mi'kmaw characters, no single person in Wildhood has to shoulder the brunt of "representation."
That Shelf
Barbara Goslawski
This mysterious young drifter becomes an important harbinger of a more mystical view of the world, one in which reasoning doesn't always make for the best approach to life or storytelling.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
Wildhood combines the foundation of heartrending coming-of-age narratives with the feel-good elements of road trip flicks to create a delicate, not to mention visually appealing, sophomore film.
Edge Media Network
Frank J. Avella
Brettan Hannam's glorious first feature, Wildhood, catapults him into the pantheon of filmmakers to watch.
