	Author	Review
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"Few filmmakers have so fully embraced the bittersweet joy of living in the moment - one that's all the more glorious because it fades so soon."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A 'spiritual sequel' to his 1993 'Dazed and Confused' (...) Linklater eases us into a specific time and place until his themes become universal (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"It's as honest and clear-eyed about the past as its predecessor, another in a filmography of unpredictable gems."	POS
United States	Charlie Schmidlin The Playlist	"[It has] an infectious quality of camaraderie, built on a cast ripe with chemistry and their ability to showcase Linklater’s unique ear for dialogue."	POS
United Kingdom	Nigel M. Smith The Guardian	"Finn makes for a bit of bland protagonist, but he's nicely balanced out by his outlandish teammates, each so clearly defined by Linklater's subtly incisive screenplay. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"After (...) the full-out masterpiece 'Boyhood' [Linklater] could have started taking himself seriously (...) Instead, he’s made a movie that aspires to little more than being fun and capturing a time"	POS
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"Despite the title, which relates to a song by Van Halen, it is never clear what everybody wants some of, but the film does feature a cast of obviously talented, charismatic unknowns (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United Kingdom	David D'Arcy Screendaily	"Linklater does connect you with the fun that he must have had in those days. If you can take the testosterone, you'll have a good time."	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"'Everybody Wants Some!!' is more than just nostalgic. It’s downright utopian (...) There are plenty of movies about lust-addled youth, but it’s unusual to find one that feels truly wholesome"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Endlessly charming and sneakily wise, 'Everybody Wants Some!!' epitomizes Linklater's unique ability to magnify human behavior with levity."	POS
