reception

Reviews

“A romantic comedy rich in dialogue, characterized by unusual situations, as a colorful mixture of feelings hidden behind boyhood and an occasionally strange humor. The varied mixture is not without gaps and gaps, but overall it is spirited and less clumsy than the usual genre average. "

“With Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan (' Ruby Sparks '), 'The F-Word' has two main actors who are intelligent and passionate about breaking clichés. […] Without appearing constructed, The 'F-Word' proves that fairytale motifs - including the animations interspersed in the film - and realistic figure drawings do not have to be mutually exclusive. "
