	Author	Review
United States	Amy Nicholson The New York Times	"A mysterious artist and a love triangle are at the center of this high-school comedy, which can’t quite decide whether to be preposterous or sincere."	NEU
United States	Christy Lemire rogerebert.com	"[It] plays like a queer version of a John Hughes movie (...) 'Crush' is light but always charming, especially in the fine line it walks between snark and sincerity (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Jude Dry IndieWire	"'Crush' is, for better or worse, just like every other teen rom-com, extraordinary in its ordinariness. It succeeds at what it sets out to do: Give queer kids a totally enjoyable, and often quite funny, mainstream love story"	POS
United States	Tomris Laffly Variety	"Despite a charming and inclusive cast and refreshingly progressive values, this Rowan Blanchard-starring rom-com feels stuck between its tritely unfunny humor and implausibly broad characters."	NEU
United States	M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"'Crush' has a refreshing willingness to have all their teen characters be socially acceptable and developed (...) A customary film experience that is utterly predictable (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"The movie’s aggressive hipness can be a turnoff at times. But once it settles down into a more typical coming-of-age story, 'Crush' becomes disarmingly sweet and relatable"	POS
United States	Siddhant Adlakha IGN	"A queer high school movie in which nothing really happens (...) Its young actors are a delight, but even as a story of teenage crushes, it rarely captures what it feels like to be young and in love."	NEU
