Brendan O'Connor of the Orlando Weekly rated the film 4 stars out of 5 wrote: "Half the film is palpably angsty-broody, so it’s a relief when you find yourself grinning along with the boys as they fall in love with the scenery, each other and the creatures they study." [1]
Pam Powell of the Daily Journal rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that the film is "simply beautiful on all levels: it's a compelling and realistic story which is enhanced by stellar cinematography. On the surface, it's a story about a troubled teen, but there are so many layers that it becomes much more than that. It is a story about life." [2]
Andrea Beach of Common Sense Media rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that the film features a "relatable" story, "solid but not stellar" acting and "gorgeous" landscapes.
