4.5/5
"It's sex, lies and videotape in a privileged high school as Antonio Campos casts a cold eye over the adolescent state of postmodernity."  Channel 4 Film  Anton Bitel

6/10
"Deserves credit for managing to make prep school seem like the most hellish place on the planet, but is at some points hard to watch for all the wrong reasons."  CampBlood.org  Brian Juergens

B+
"Antonio Campos's character study of a prep school social misfit named Robert (Ezra Miller) is an intimate psychological journey into a coded juvenile mindset."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

2/4
"This ain't Elephant, even if it looks like one."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

"Palely imitative...which no amount of Bela Tarr pacing, no cloak of arthouse legitimacy, can hide. This **** is a sham."  The L Magazine  Henry Stewart

3/5
"[Director] Campos certainly demands your attention, and has it for most of the film."  Film-Forward.com  Kent Turner

3/4
"This is a little movie well worth checking out. The performances are very natural, and the themes are enticingly provocative."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

C
"Once made ... Afterschool proceeds to regurgitate its thesis with all the grace of a lumberjack leveling a redwood."  Lessons of Darkness  Nick Schager

3.5/5
"This drama shows the growing skill of 25-year-old writer-director-editor Campos. It's also packed with important themes that are addressed both artfully and hauntingly."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline
