Critics' reviews

"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."

Justin Chang: Variety
"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)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"It's as honest and clear-eyed about the past as its predecessor, another in a filmography of unpredictable gems."

John DeFore: The Hollywood Reporter
"[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."

Charlie Schmidlin: The Playlist
"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"

Mick LaSalle: San Francisco Chronicle
"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)"

Rex Reed: The New York Observer
"'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"

A. O. Scott: The New York Times
