Critics Consensus

Some of the writing is stilted and the execution is occasionally uneven, but Crush's central love story is easy to fall for.

It evidently cant decide whether the film should be sincere as its endearing leads play it or preposterous Go to Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 04/29/2022
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. Go to Full Review Tomris Laffly Variety 04/29/2022
What’s jarring in Crush is the absence of some requisite dose of youthful mischief, a sense of stakes and perhaps even a lightly scandalous touch. Go to Full Review Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) Women Write About Comics 08/21/2025
Crush has fully-fleshed out characters who are queer, but are also so much more... They’re trying to realise their dreams. All this is wrapped into one neat, cute, and funny story that will leave you feeling optimistic about the world we live in. Go to Full Review John Daniel Tangalin The Cinema Spot 07/19/2025
4/5
While Crush at least avoids one or two clichés, in its leap of faith — a little pun since the primary characters take part in a track team — the film does run into other obstacles and takes some falls, albeit not hard-hitting ones. Go to Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times 02/11/2025
3/5
Blanchard makes such a winning loser that it's easy to identify with her woes, not least the boundary-trampling frankness of her single mother (a scene-stealing Megan Mulally). Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Roven B @cinnephile.01 Jul 1 love to see Rowan Blanchard on screen! perfect summer movie, even tho not set in summer. pretty good love triangle teen movie! cliche teen movies done in a queer context is NEEDED! See more somebody n @madeliner Dec 4 The cutest film and also some of the best lesbian representation i've seen on screen. Most characters are people of color, and are fluid across the gender and sexuality spectrum. See more Eric C @jarvis346 Nov 16 I know I am not the demographic viewer this movie is intended, but I absolutely love this film. The movie is so sincere and presented to us with an 80s touch with a modern day story. See more Wilson N. @WilsonNavarro 07/26/2025 Refreshing love story. It seems to be a low budget movie; however, it is much better than most of mainstream romantic comedy movies.
