"with teenagers, there will always come a time when innocence must be lost - but Levine's film transfixes this moment with the sharpness of a razor."

"So self-conscious that the movie feels like a feature length music video that's too busy admiring itself it the mirror to make any sense."

"Cluttered with obnoxious CW-scented teen characterizations, cartoonish parades of clumsy adolescent lust, and fruitless stabs of suspense,
Lane
is a rotten idea all around."

3/4
"One of the more memorable teen-oriented horror movies of the last few years. As much a comment on the objectification of women as it is a grimy, violent, enthralling slasher pic."

"Dumb kids doing dumb things for dumb reasons."

3/4
"May have an indie budget but equally evokes the rich landscapes of early Terrence Malick and the grimy grindhouse tales of the '70s, converging poetically into its heartmashing climax."

"What distinguishes it from the slasher flock, however, isn't its kills, but its smarts: the extent to which it taps into the high school psyche and recontextualizes its usual sex-alcohol-and-drugs temptations."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
3.5/4
"Think of it as "There's Something About Mary" with a twist of "Friday the 13th"..."
Cinema Crazed

3/4
"All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (is) the best modern slasher flick since Scream. In fact, I like All the Boys Love Mandy Lane a little more than Scream -- All the Boys may be knowing and post-modern as it begs, borrows and steals from films like Prom Night,"
Cinematical

2/4
"Like far too many modern horror films,
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane
flaunts its knowledge of classic genre fundamentals but fails to do anything very clever or surprising with them."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
3/5
"More of a dramatic freak-out than your standard teen slasher horror. Although the effect is exactly the same."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
2/5
"A rather dull meat-and-potatoes slasher film front-loaded with lots of tedium where character development used to go."

Rob Gonsalves
4/5
"
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane
is what we call a "thinking man's slasher flick." Hell, it might just be the first one ever."
