	Author	Review
United States	Jude Dry IndieWire	"[It] hits all the right notes (...) A delightfully strange little film (...) So darn refreshing"	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"Funny, cute and good-natured, but also trying a bit too hard to achieve those qualities. (...) Nevertheless, 'Strangelove' should please a fair number of viewers."	POS
United States	William Bibbiani The Wrap	"[Johnson] gets the hilarity and the angst just right (...) It’s a complex inner journey, and writer-director Craig Johnson (...) brings it to life in just about every way he can"	POS
United States	Keith Uhlich The Hollywood Reporter	"[The] softheartedness, however, proves to be a fairly adequate delivery mechanism for some tough and tender observations about modern queerness."	POS
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"'Alex Strangelove' is witty, compassionate and enjoyable throughout; a charming movie and in many respects an enlightened one."	POS
United Kingdom	Guy Lodge The Guardian	"A well-meaning high school romp works best when it explores the complexities of sexuality but an old-school conservatism frustrates (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
